Pair of Large Brass Good Luck Elephant Sculpture Figures Over 2ft Tall
By Sarreid Ltd.
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Exceptional pair of vintage large scale brass elephant sculptures. One is larger, one is slightly smaller but they both stand over 2 feet tall! Each elephant’s trunk reaching upward, a symbol of good luck. These are beautifully crafted with detail in the modeling. The artist took care to represent the folds in the ears, creases in the skin, and spine on the backs. Elephants are revered by many, but are considered sacred in Hindu and Buddhist religious. The raised trunks are said to bring prosperity and protection to those in their presence. This commanding brass elephant figurine stands over two feet tall, offering an impressive sculptural presence that commands attention. Crafted from substantial brass, the form is richly detailed—each wrinkle in the hide, softly curved ear, upward-reaching trunk, and meticulously modeled spine speaks to both the animal’s majesty and the artisan’s skill. The warm golden patina has developed natural depth over time, lending the piece both gravitas and a sense of radiant character. Measuring approximately 24 inches tall, 12 inches long, and 8 inches wide, this piece balances monumental scale with refined enclosure—making it an ideal focal accent on a console, pedestal, or architectural niche. In excellent condition with vintage authenticity intact, the brass surface shows subtle traces of age: a gently darkened patina in recessed areas, light handling marks on raised planes, and a ledger of character signifying a life well-lived rather than detracting from its visual integrity.
