A wonderfully substantial sculptural photo frame by Arthur Court, featuring an intricately modeled jungle scene populated by elephants among dense tropical foliage.
Cast in Arthur Court’s signature silver-tone aluminum, the frame has remarkable depth and texture, with the elephants appearing almost fully sculpted against layers of leaves and branches. The heavily modeled surface catches the light beautifully and gives the piece the presence of a small decorative sculpture rather than simply a picture frame.
Arthur Court became particularly celebrated for its nature-inspired aluminum designs, translating animals, botanicals and organic forms into highly dimensional decorative objects. The company’s frames remain especially appealing for their combination of whimsical subject matter and substantial construction. Arthur Court continues to describe its frames as crafted in sculpted aluminum and pewter.
A fantastic piece for an animal lover, safari-inspired interior, library, study, or collected tabletop. Its generous scale and weight make it particularly striking displayed on a console, desk or bookshelf.
