ELEPHANT TABLE – ECHOES OF INDIA ✨🐘

There are pieces that arrive at Batalha Collection and instantly fill the room with stories. This small Indian side table in exotic wood, richly inlaid with bone, is a direct journey to the workshops of Rajasthan, mid-20th century. The round top is a wonderful geometric and vegetal lacework, with a central star surrounded by flowering branches, all made by hand, leaf by leaf, dot by dot. When the light touches it, the contrast between the warm tone of the wood and the pale shine of the inlay gains an almost hypnotic depth. ✨

But it is the three elephant-head legs that completely win me over. Each elephant is carved with tenderness and pride, a symbol of strength, memory and prosperity in Indian culture. I like to imagine this table as a tea stand on a sunny veranda, or as a point of light in a contemporary living room, connecting worlds and eras. It is a decorative piece, but above all a small functional sculpture, perfect for those who look for exotic details with soul and authenticity. 🐘❤️
