Original Handmade Frank Meisler Articulated Elephant Sculpture with Gold & Silver Plated Details
We challenge anyone to not fall in love with this adorable piece. An authentic Frank Meisler sculpture of an African elephant. Handmade in a limited edition run of just 480 – this piece is 60 / 480 – it’s beautifully rendered in metal alloys with gold and silver plated detailing to accentuate its fine features. Whilst the piece would perhaps be described as a caricature, it’s not cartoonish. In fact the elephant carries a serious expression in our view. We love the criss-cross lines across the body that accurately creates the wrinkled texture of its skin, and the proud, marching gait. It has an articulated head and ears, inviting engagement and interaction. Frank Meisler was a renowned Israeli sculptor, 1929 – 2018, who created kinetic works with movement, designed to delight and surprise. Now under the leadership of his daughter, Frank Meisler handmade works are still produced today.
