African Elephant Print Appraisal

Framed African Elephant Landscape Print

This item is a large-format wildlife print depicting a herd of African elephants at a water source, presented in a highly ornate decorative frame. The print itself features a muted, sepia or greenish-toned color palette, capturing a panoramic view of several elephants, including calves, standing by a shoreline with birds and possibly other wildlife in the foreground. The artwork is set within a thick, dark black or charcoal-colored mat that provides a sharp contrast to the lighter tones of the print. The secondary inner frame surrounding the paper is silver-toned, matching the metallic accents of the primary outer frame. The main frame is substantial, featuring a complex 'crackle' or 'crocodile' skin texture on its broad flat surfaces, bordered by silver-gilt beaded and foliate decorative molding. Small fleur-de-lis or floral emblems are visible at the corner junctions. The craftsmanship suggests a contemporary piece designed to mimic traditional luxury styles, likely produced in the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears excellent with No visible tears to the paper or significant chips to the frame, though the glass shows minor surface reflections. The overall aesthetic is one of elegant safari-themed decor, suitable for high-end residential interiors.
