ELEPHANT BOOKENDS UPDATE
I always update the listing with a shipping tracking number, so you know it has been dispatched. I aim to get parcels on their way to you the day (or at the latest the next day) payment has been received. I also take a great pride in making sure that your item is VERY well packaged and arrives with you in great shape. To keep my costs down, and help the environment, I use recycled boxes and packaging where at all possible. These are not part of the auction! Postage And Packaging I try to charge the exact cost of postage (or close to it).
ELEPHANT BOOKENDS SERIES
They look great! And of course they hold that little secret! Approximate Dimensions Each one is:Inches: 7.5 long x 6 high x 4 wideCentimeters: 19 long x 15 high x 10 wideThe last photograph in the series features a can (or cans), to give you a sense of scale.
But as the other one is fairly easy, if you were to use these then the harder one could hold stuff you rarely opened it up for!Apart from that, these are in good used condition, with just the very small knocks and dinks you would expect. A bit of light sandpapering would easily fix that. There is a chip of a top corner which i not really noticeable and again I have shown in the photographs.On one elephant, the secret compartment is rather stiff to open.
There is a minor amount of surface wear / shallow cracks (mainly on the right hand elephant) which I have shown in the photographs. He is also missing a toe at the back which you can't see at all when on a shelf. This is easy to know as the name and country map are inlaid on them using bovine bone.These look cool BUT even better they have a secret! Each one has a hidden compartment, ideal for stashing small treasures! I won't say any more, but please check the photographs.A VERY reluctant saleHappy bidding! Condition One elephant is missing a tusk. They are ALL cool!Here we have a great pair of bookends, which were made in Sri Lanka (or Ceylon as it was called at the time). I am currently running 4 auctions featuring vintage / antique carved ebony (mainly elephants) figures and book ends. Description PLEASE NOTE: I have rather overspent on carvings, so am having a bit of a clear out. Item: 192433953420 Secret Compartment Ebony Inlaid Elephant Bookends Ceylon / Sri Lanka.
