Large Vintage Wood Parade Elephant with Gondola Seat 14" Tall

Description

I PURCHASED THIS AT AN OLD ESTATE AUCTION AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT.
THE ELEPHANT IS MADE OF WOOD AND QUITE HEAVY (5 POUNDS) AND IT STANDS ALMOST 11" AND IS 10" ACROSS WITH THE SEAT ON TOP, THIS IS 14" TALL.
THE GONDOLA SEAT IS MADE OF WOOD AND THE TOP IS BASKET WEAVED, THE RED VELEVET CLOTH IS DIRTY JUST FROM SITTING IN THE BARN FOR YEARS AND IT HAS METAL FLOWERS DECORATING THE CLOTH.
WE THINK HE WAS POSSIBLY SOLD AT A CIRCUS? THERE ARE NO MARKINGS ON HIM.  HE IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO BREAKS, JUST NEEDS CLEANED.
PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY AUCTION.
