Description:

Most decorative, functional, naturalistic Elephant Wall Fountain bronze from the designs of the great French Animalier bronze artist Antoine-Louis Barye (French: 1796-1875). This fully functional fountain complete with piping and electrical water pump, depicts a large African elephant wall trophy with large ears, bronze tusks, and an upward trunk resting on the fountain with 1/2 oval base. This base oval is in the shape of the form of a Grecian Antiquity design bowl. The dimensions are approximately 46" L x 25" W x 65" H, the base is 36" L x 20" W x 3" H. The bronze weighs approximately 275 lbs. This is a true one of a kind designer fountain that can be used indoors or outdoors as it is contained. If you are looking for the best of the best here it is!

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The bronze has only slight handling marks with a dark brown patina. The tusks have a bright finish. The water pump and piping are untested.
