Description

A pair of vintage elephant bookends, hand-carved from solid hardwood and richly decorated with intricate brass inlay. Each elephant features repeating floral and geometric motifs, creating a contrast between the dark wood and brass detailing.

Designed as a matching pair, the elephants face outward when placed together, forming a sculptural and balanced display. Their flat bases allow them to function effectively as bookends while also serving as decorative objects on shelves, desks, or consoles.

Handcrafted in India during the mid-20th century for the export décor market, these bookends reflect the era’s appreciation for global craftsmanship and animal symbolism. A great accent suitable for bohemian, eclectic, or mid-century-inspired interiors.

Style:

Bohemian

Global / Ethnic

Mid-Century Modern (Accent)
