Lot #720: Vintage Hand-Carved EBONY Wood Elephants – Graduated Sizes – African/Asian Decor

Vintage set of three hand-carved ebony wood elephants, believed to date to approximately the 1950s–early 1960s and over 65 years old. Each features contrasting light-colored applied tusks and eye details. Tusks are of unidentified material and have not been tested or authenticated. Striking set of three vintage hand-carved dark hardwood/ebony-style elephant figures in graduated sizes. Each elephant is individually carved with a wonderfully substantial, sculptural form, expressive ears and trunk, and contrasting light-colored tusks and eye details. These are not lightweight molded souvenir pieces; the visible carving and natural variation give each elephant its own character. The largest is particularly impressive, with long tusks, deeply carved ears and a beautifully rounded body. The trio displays exceptionally well together and would make a dramatic addition to an eclectic, global, safari or traditional interior. Vintage carved ebony elephants have an established decorative market. Pickup category timeslot {B}
