Agile Elephant Clock

Inspired by the fascination with exotic wildlife and grand tour treasures that once filled the libraries and studies of Europe's most discerning collectors, the Agile Elephant Clock combines sculptural artistry with functional elegance. A verdigris-finished cast brass elephant balances atop a richly figured penshell-inlaid clock case, elevated on a tiered stone base that lends both substance and architectural presence. The juxtaposition of natural materials, intricate textures, and whimsical form creates an object that feels at once scholarly, worldly, and delightfully unexpected. Rich in character and craftsmanship, it embodies Maitland-Smith's enduring tradition of creating decorative objects that inspire curiosity and conversation.
