Small Elephant

The Small Elephant is an intimate visual anchor handcrafted using the non-industrial Cire Perdue (lost-wax casting) method, a 4,000-year-old metalworking tradition.

Despite its compact proportions, this piece showcases a delightful density of hand-carved character. The elephant's body is wrapped in a smooth, rhythmic sequence of hand-coiled brass threads that mimic heavy, majestic folds. Perched gracefully at the tip of its raised trunk is a tiny, intricately cast bloom, bringing a rare touch of lightness and narrative poetry to the solid metal form. Because each individual sculpture is born from a single clay mould that must be shattered to release the cooled brass alloy, your elephant is entirely one-of-a-kind.

The Styling Ritual: With its petite 4.5 x 3 x 3.5-inch dimensions, this sculpture carries an exceptional tactile weight for its scale. It serves as a sophisticated layering piece when styled atop a stack of design journals, placed on a vanity alongside a marble tray, or nestled into an open floating shelf vignette to catch soft, natural daylight.
