About the Item

Imperial Elephant Candelabrum Europe, Early 20th Century Height: 34 in. Width: 17 in. Depth: 15 in. Materials: Patinated Bronze, Semi-Precious Stone, Colored Glass Provenance: Private European Collection Step into a world of regal fantasy with this extraordinary Imperial Elephant Candelabrum, a masterwork of early 20th-century European craftsmanship where classical elegance meets exotic mystique. Atop a richly ornamented bronze base stands a sumptuously adorned elephant, its form meticulously cast and accented with a jeweled howdah and a saddlecloth in resplendent hues of deep red and jade green. Draped in tassels and garland motifs, the beast of burden carries a towering obelisk-style pedestal, from which springs a crown of seven botanical candle arms—each one mimicking unfurling leaves in a nod to both Neoclassical and Orientalist aesthetics. The piece is further embellished with semi-precious stone insets and deep green glass candle cups, catching and refracting light like the facets of a gem. The patina of the bronze adds a moody richness, while the careful detailing—from the elephant’s tusks to the acanthus leaf mounts—marks this as a creation of exceptional refinement. This candelabrum is more than illumination; it is a sculptural triumph—a symbol of colonial-era opulence and the European fascination with the grandeur of the East. Originally intended for a grand drawing room or estate conservatory, it now commands attention in any sophisticated interior or curated art collection.
