About the Item
Monumental Aluminium Elephant Tusks with Ostrich Eggshell Detailing
We are proud to offer "Number 1" of a limited edition of 10, our elephant tusk pair "Celestial Guardians".
It's taken us over one year to design, cast and create this sculpture, as we wanted to make something contemporary, unique, and of a large size.
A striking fusion of strength and elegance, our large-scale sculpture presents a pair of meticulously crafted elephant tusks in polished aluminium. Their sweeping curves capture the grandeur of nature’s design, while the reflective surface enhances their presence in any space. Delicate inlays of ostrich eggshell add intricate texture and contrast, celebrating the harmony of organic and sustainable materials.
This unique piece is a testament to both artistry and craftsmanship, making it a powerful statement for collectors, interior designers, or those drawn to the beauty of wildlife-inspired forms. Ideal for luxury interiors and statement installations.
We chose aluminium as it's recyclable and sustainable. The ostrich eggshell used was sourced directly from a local ostrich farm hatchery, thus also being a sustainable source. The wood is Blackwood, and the stone base is quartz, which is very durable. The base is felt lined, to prevent scratching on floors.
Height is 87 inches, weight is 229lbs.
We crate and ship our art worldwide using FedEx or DHL, to ensure safe delivery.

Welded, brazed sculpture on wooden base
This is not signed or dated
This work is unsigned. We were told it was the work of Seymour Lipton but as there is further documentation we are selling it as attributed and cannot guarantee it as such.
Seymour Lipton (1903 – 1986) was an American abstract expressionist sculptor. He was a member of the New York School who gained widespread recognition in the 1950s. He initially trained as a dentist, like fellow sculptor Herbert Ferber, receiving his degree from Columbia University in 1927. In the late 1920s, he began to explore sculpture, creating clay portraits of family members and friends. His early choices of medium changed from wood to lead and then to bronze, and he is best known for his work in metal. Like his contemporary, Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock, and Arshile Gorky Lipton was influenced by Carl Jung’s work on the unconscious mind and the regenerative forces of nature. He translated these two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional maquettes that enabled him to revise his ideas before creating the final sculpture. The forms that Lipton produced during this period were often zoomorphic, exemplifying the tension between the souls of nature and the automatism of the machine. He made several technical innovations, including brazing nickel silver rods onto sheets of Monel to create rust resistant forms. Seymour Lipton is best known for his textured torch welded metal sculptures...
