An Indian Carved Elephant Ivory Bridge of Thirteen Elephants, circa 1958, upon a two-arched Indian rosewood stand with white metal presentation plaque To Mr & Mrs H Bracewell With Best Wishes and Kind regards from the Staff of Kohinoor Mills no.1 & 2 Bombay 23-3-1958, overall height 19cm, length of bridge (with the curve) 61.5cm

With CITES A10 (non-transferable) licence no.520132/01

Sold for £250
Estimated at £250 - £350


 

In good condition overall. Very subtly off-colour commensurate with age. There are screws underneath the rosewood arches which no doubt affix into the underside of the integral ivory plinth on which the elephants parade (so the screw will enter the ivory at this point). The stand is good. 030214
