Brass Triple Palm Tree Sculpture with Ornate Elephant Base

Design & Inspiration

This extraordinary brass sculpture captures the spirit of an ancient oasis in cast metal — three slender palm trees rise from a shared ornamental base, their fronds individually detailed to catch the light from every angle. The composition draws from the rich tradition of Oriental and Orientalist decorative arts, a genre that captivated European collectors and craftsmen from the 18th century onward and found its fullest expression in richly worked brass and bronze figurines. Here, the palm tree — eternal symbol of resilience, abundance, and the East — is rendered with the precision of a master foundryman.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Cast entirely in solid brass, this sculpture is the product of meticulous handcrafting by Egyptian artisans working in the tradition of classical metalwork. Each palm frond is individually detailed with incised veining, while the curved trunks exhibit a naturalistic texture that mimics the ringed bark of the date palm. The base is the true showpiece: a heavily cast, low-relief composition featuring elephant heads in profile, crowned by a central domed motif adorned with radiating starburst carving — a nod to both Egyptian and Indo-Persian decorative vocabularies. The warm antique-gold finish is achieved through a controlled oxidation process that deepens the recessed areas while leaving the raised surfaces luminous.

Dimensions & Details

The piece measures approximately 18 cm in diameter at the base and 22 cm in height (قطر ارتفاع 18/22 as noted). Its compact yet commanding scale makes it ideal as a centrepiece on a console table, library shelf, or executive desk. Weighing 4 kg, the solid brass construction lends it the satisfying heft of a serious objet d'art. Available in multiple brass finishes to complement your interior palette.
