A timeless symbol of strength and good fortune, this vintage elephant candle holder is attributed to Arthur Court’s celebrated 1977 design. The raised trunk, long associated with prosperity and protection, gives this sculptural piece both decorative presence and meaningful charm. Its balanced stance and softly contoured body reflect the distinctive aesthetic that made Arthur Court aluminum designs highly collectible.
Crafted in hand-cast aluminum, the piece features the signature sand-cast matte finish characteristic of late-1970s Arthur Court production. The detailing along the ears and trunk adds texture and dimension, while the integrated candle well at the back includes the recognizable “snuffer hole” near the tail—an identifying feature unique to this original 1977 mold.
Though unmarked, the form, scale, casting style, and distinctive snuffer port align with documented examples from the 1977 Arthur Court release. Highly sought after for Hollywood Regency, safari, or eclectic interiors, this sculptural accent delivers both vintage authenticity and enduring decorative appeal.
