Lot 276: A Pair of Mid-20th Century Carved Ebony Elephant Figurines
A pair of hand-carved elephant figurines, crafted from a dense, dark hardwood, likely ebony. Each animal is depicted in a stylised walking posture with its trunk raised and forward-facing. The figures feature inset off-white tusks and small circular eyes, likely made of bone or a synthetic material. The style is characteristic of mid-century decorative export items. No factory marks, model numbers, or signatures are visible on either piece.
Condition report:
Both figurines are in good vintage condition with signs of age and handling. There is visible surface dust and minor scuffs to the wood. One tusk on the foreground elephant shows slight discolouration and minor wear at the tip.
