Demetre Chiparus Art Deco Terracotta Sculpture Elephant and Baby

About the Item

Demetre Chiparus (1888-1950) designed this gorgeous Art Deco fine terracotta sculpture. The artwork features a brown-red patinated Art Deco walking elephants on a large base. The female elephant is trumpeting and followed by her baby. The hand-written incised D. H. Chiparus's signature is visible on the base, and the marking on the other side reads Editions Reveyrollis - Paris. This piece has lots of presence, and the spectacular surface finish has a hand-made feel. Original condition, no chip, no crack, no repair. The mother elephant has its original terracotta tusks. Measurements: 25.57 in wide (65 cm) x 5.50 in deep (14 cm) x 18.13 in high (46 cm). Reference: "Chiparus un sculpteur Art Deco", by Alberto Shayo, Edition Abbe Ville Press, Copyright 1993. Note: The shipping will be quoted at check-out as the regular standard parcel service will not be an option due to the shape of the sculpture and its material. Please inquire if you need a personalized quote.
