Description
This charming table lamp features a detailed cast resin base sculpted into a sitting African elephant. The finish is a matte, textured sage-gray that mimics skin folds. It includes a simple white drum shade and a metallic gold-tone power cord. Standing approximately 12-14 inches tall, it is perfect for a nursery, kid's room, or eclectic office space.
Key Features
Realistic textures, animal-themed decor (popular for nurseries), gold cord adds a touch of modern style, compact size suitable for nightstands.
Authenticity Indicators
Mass-market production; check for a 'Made in China' sticker or UL listing on the socket. Confidence: High (modern mass-market item).
Flaws to Note
Major staining and yellowing on the lampshade which likely requires replacement. Some scuffing on the resin feet. The cord is heavily dusty and may need deep cleaning.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (local avoids shipping fragile shades) or Mercari. The weight of resin makes shipping expensive relative to the low resale value.
Selling Tips
Remove the stained shade and sell as 'Base Only' to save on shipping costs, or replace with a cheap $5 new shade to increase appeal. Use keywords like 'Safari Nursery,' 'Boho Decor,' and 'Elephant Figure Lamp.' Clean the resin with a damp cloth to remove dust from textured crevices.
