Product Overview
Model XL23A1-07 is built around a single image: silver elephant pair with noses pointing upwards. The piece is hollow-cast by the traditional lost-wax method, then patinated and sealed by hand, so a hand-applied patina sits over crisp, hand-chased detail. At 307 × 157 × 202 mm (supplied in 2 sizes), it is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.
The volumes are kept simple and architectural: a broad head, a strong columnar leg structure, and a back that runs in one long line. The trunk is where the model shows its finesse — tapering, flexible-looking, and modeled with fine wrinkle relief that catches the patina.
The patina is built up in layers and sealed, which means tone varies slightly from piece to piece — the mark of genuine hand finishing rather than a sprayed imitation. On a sideboard, console or reception counter, it holds its own without competing with the furniture around it, and it needs no more care than an occasional soft-cloth dusting.
Design Inspiration: Wisdom, Memory and Good Fortune
The elephant means good luck on nearly every continent: a raised trunk showering fortune in Asian tradition, Ganesha clearing obstacles in India, and in the West an animal that stands for memory, patience and steadfast family bonds — the one that never forgets. That universal welcome is why elephant sculptures are among the most gifted pieces for openings and housewarmings anywhere. This bronze translates the animal’s calm mass into clean sculptural volumes: the head, shoulders and flanks are broad and quiet, while the trunk and ears carry the gesture and detail.
Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina
The piece is produced by the traditional lost-wax method. Wax is modelled from the master, invested in a ceramic shell and burnt out, and molten bronze is poured into the cavity, so the finished casting is a hollow bronze shell rather than a solid block — lighter to handle, easier to place, and true to the way fine bronzes have been made for centuries. After casting, the surface is chased and polished by hand, then patinated in layered tones and sealed.
Elephant skin texture is suggested with a fine crosshatch that is deepest along the trunk and legs; after patina it reads as tone, not ornament, keeping the piece sculptural rather than busy.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Should I choose a raised trunk or a walking elephant?
Raised-trunk elephants are the traditional luck-showering choice for entrances and gift occasions; walking elephants read calmer and suit living spaces and lounge settings. Both carry the same symbolism of wisdom and stability, so the choice is mostly about the mood of your space.
2. Do you have mother-and-calf or herd versions?
Yes — the collection includes mother-and-calf pairs and walking herds. For lobby projects, matched groups placed along an entrance axis work especially well; contact us with your floor plan and we will suggest sizes and spacing.
3. Can I order this piece in a different color?
Yes. The finish shown is the standard patina of this model, but the same sculpture can be produced in other tones — warm brown, antique gold, verdigris green or a custom two-tone patina. Hand patina is our standard process, so an alternative finish does not significantly affect lead time.
4. Is each sculpture exactly the same?
The casting comes from the same mold, so the form is consistent. The patina, however, is applied by hand, which means slight variations in tone between individual pieces — a normal characteristic of genuine cast bronze.
5. What is the MOQ?
We work with both single-piece orders and bulk project orders. Contact us with your quantity and destination port for an accurate quotation and lead time.
