“A Thousand and One Nights” Elephant – Jean Boggio x Émaux de Longwy From the Thousand and One Nights collection, this majestic elephant is a creation by Jean Boggio for the renowned Émaux de Longwy factory. A symbol of power and refinement, the animal is enhanced by a cloisonné glazed earthenware decoration featuring vibrant colors and finely crafted oriental motifs.
Its back is adorned with a sumptuous palanquin decorated with a starry sky and half-open curtains, revealing a dreamlike world.
Every detail—from the golden bells hanging from the cover to the hand-painted arabesques—is a testament to the artist's exceptional craftsmanship and rich imagination.
Produced in a limited and numbered edition, this unique piece combines the elegance of decorative art with the magic of oriental tales.
Longwy stamp on the bottom, artist's signature, and the mention E.A n'3 (artist's proof).
Good condition: cover reattached.
France, 20th century
