Hand-Carved Elephant & Bird Candle Holder & Planter

Product Description

Bring timeless heritage and traditional Indian craftsmanship into your home with this Hand-Carved Elephant & Bird Candle Holder & Planter, beautifully crafted from an authentic old teak wood architectural piece.

This one-of-a-kind décor piece features beautiful deep, sculptural hand carvings on multiple sides. One side showcases an aged hand-carved elephant motif, while another features beautifully detailed bird motifs surrounded by traditional floral, leaf, and ornamental carvings. The raised and projecting carved details give the piece remarkable depth and a distinctive three-dimensional character.

The elephant carving has naturally softened and worn with age, adding to the piece’s authentic vintage appeal rather than taking away from its beauty. Its irregular carving details, old tool marks, aged surface, and naturally developed patina reflect the history and craftsmanship of the original wooden architectural element.

The upper section features a beautifully carved rounded form with a deep hollow space in the centre, allowing it to be styled with a pillar candle, tealight holder, small planter, dried floral arrangement, or other decorative accents. Its naturally aged wood grain, minor cracks, worn edges, carving marks, tonal variations, and weathered textures have been carefully preserved to retain its genuine old-world character.
