This vintage French wicker elephant is an absolute delight, blending functionality with charming craftsmanship. Expertly handwoven from natural wicker, the piece showcases an impressive attention to detail, from the textured body to the delicate curves of the trunk and expressive facial features. Its rounded shape gives it a whimsical yet sturdy appearance, standing confidently on four small wicker legs.
The elephant’s head is intricately designed with woven ears, eyes, and a gracefully curved trunk, adding a playful and characterful expression to the overall design. The body of the elephant doubles as a storage compartment, with a hinged lid cleverly concealed within the wicker weave, making it both decorative and functional.
This piece likely dates back to the mid-20th century and embodies the playful yet refined style associated with French wickerwork of that era. Whether used as a storage basket, a decorative statement piece, or even as a small accent table, this charming elephant brings warmth, personality, and a touch of vintage charm to any space. It’s a unique conversation starter and a testament to the artistry of traditional wicker craftsmanship. less
