ABOUT PRODUCTID 5929
This porcelain elephant figurine, produced by Royal Dux Bohemia in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s, is a distinguished example of Art Deco decorative sculpture. Measuring 16.5 × 17 × 14.5 cm, the piece features glazed porcelain in a warm, creamy ivory tone. Hand-painted accents in vivid orange and gold highlight the contours of the ears, eyes, tusks, and the geometric, angular motifs on the faceted base. The elephant is adorned with a decorative blanket in deep blue, red, green, and gold, rendered in a symmetrical, stylized pattern. The base radiates with orange and gold rays from its corners, adding a dynamic, modernist character. The surface is smooth and glossy, with visible brushstrokes and gilded details, while the underside bears the Royal Dux factory mark and form number 13891, confirming authenticity. Condition: visible small chips and signs of wear on the edges of the base, consistent with age and use. The form of this figurine echoes the voice of an era marked by transformation—1930s Art Deco, when geometry met exoticism and a fascination for the power of nature was intertwined with modern decorative sensibilities. The elongated proportions and abstracted silhouette of the elephant embody the modernist spirit, seeking beauty in streamlined shapes and vivid colour contrasts. Hand-painted details and gilded highlights enliven the piece, as if the elephant were narrating a story of a world where tradition coexisted with the avant-garde. This figurine can serve as an accent in an eclectic living room—ideally paired with dark veneer or lacquered surfaces that enhance its glazed
