About the Item

A work of art as much as a one-of-a-kind curiosity object, this extraordinary creation is made up of unusual, unique, antique and rare elements, projecting us into a dreamlike world and an imaginary world full of fantastic adventures. The artist was inspired by the fashion for curiosity cabinets in the 16th and 17th centuries and other wonder chambers that decorated the castles and aristocratic residences of the period. This exceptional object consists of a bronze elephant on an antique-style pedestal supporting a gilded bronze cornucopia containing two authentic branches of white and red coral, the whole embellished with semi-precious stones and other antique bronze components. A unique piece that will delight curiosity collectors!
