this is a large hand carved coffee table that i know nothing about.the carved elephants are the legs for it.can anyone tell me anything about this table??origin,collectability,hows rare type of wood etc?anything?the table top is about 6 inches thick.and approx. 4 ft by 2ft top covered with glass.
Very unique ! The animals look like one's I got from Africa and I am thinking they put them all in table . Are they set in lucite ? I would say homemade very decorative table ! Love it ! Just a guess :-)
There are some truly fine Haitian artist & it is their style to paint & sculpture animals (mostly African) that do live in their country. This has the look of one of their best & the wood looks like it may be Lignum Vitae which their better works are done in. Sans the glass, is the wood extremely heavy & hard as hell? This is extremely well done, especially using the different colours of the grain for highlighting the eyes etc.. You have a beautiful piece by the pics, even with the glass glare.
can anyone else add to this?i cannot even find where to begin to look for information.im sure its a one of a kind ,would love to find origin and any history????please ask around,any info appreciated
Philippine Islands, 1970's. Just outside the main gate of Clark A.F.B.
