With its dramatically upturned trunk (a classic symbol of good luck), sculpted ribbed detailing along the trunk, and exaggerated flared ears, it perfectly captures the glamorous, worldly spirit of the Hollywood Regency era.

Substantial in scale at approximately 15” tall (see photos with ruler for reference), this is not a small trinket but a true decorative object — heavy, solid, and beautifully cast. The rounded, simplified body and stylized features give it a slightly modernist edge, making it equally at home in Palm Beach Regency, chinoiserie, maximalist, or eclectic interiors.

The warm patinated brass has developed a rich glow over time, with natural age-appropriate surface variations that enhance its vintage character. An original “Genuine Solid Brass” sticker remains on the underside.

Style notes:
• 1970s Hollywood Regency
• Palm Beach / Grandmillennial
• Chinoiserie-inspired interiors
• Collected, layered traditional spaces
• Dramatic bar cart or console styling

This piece has wonderful presence — perfect atop a stack of design books, anchoring a bar, or adding a gleaming sculptural moment to a console or étagère. See less
