Pair of Hand-Carved Ebony Elephant Figurines, 19th Century, with Inlaid Bone Details

A pair of hand-carved ebony elephant figurines dating to the late 19th century. Each figure is skilfully rendered from solid ebony, featuring inset tusks and eyes composed of bone. The lot comprises two distinct styles: one sculpture displays a smooth, highly polished finish with inlaid bone toe details, while the second figure exhibits a more naturalistic, textured surface representing the folds of the skin. These pieces are characteristic of the high-quality decorative wood carvings produced for the export market during the late Victorian era. No maker’s marks or signatures are present.
