Playful Elephant Doorstop

A sculptural doorstop of uncommon charm, the Playful Elephant from John Richard unites brass, metal, and marble in a form that is simultaneously whimsical and architecturally considered. At ten and a half inches tall, the piece carries genuine presence — substantial enough to anchor a doorway while commanding attention as an object in its own right. It speaks to the long tradition of decorative animals rendered in fine materials, here elevated by the grounding weight of stone and the warm luminosity of brass into something that transcends its function entirely.
