prepare to be transported somewhere a little more exotic. This magnificent large vintage wooden elephant, dating from the 1960s, is certainly not the sort of elephant you’ll find hiding in the corner!

hand-carved from solid wood, he is substantial, incredibly heavy and wonderfully tactile, with a beautifully aged, natural finish that gives him bags of character. From his expressive face and sweeping trunk to his chunky legs and wonderfully detailed ears, every part has that unmistakable charm of a vintage decorative piece made to be admired.

but this elephant has a rather important job to do…

he carries a seat upon his back!

the substantial wooden seat is beautifully carved with decorative detailing and is perfectly suited to displaying a favourite pot plant, trailing greenery or statement botanical. Place a plant upon his back and suddenly you have your very own miniature jungle — with this magnificent chap proudly carrying it all.

he would make an unforgettable feature piece in a mid-century-inspired interior, conservatory, orangery, eclectic home or garden room, and would look equally at home amongst other vintage treasures. He has the presence to stand alone and the personality to become a real talking point.

this is the sort of piece that makes people stop and ask, “where on earth did you find that?”
