While an elephant's head served as an armorial crest for a number of families, it's presence on Roman marble candelabrum, such as that in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, caused it to feature as part of the 'antique' repertoire around 1800 (see N. Penny, Ashmolean Catalogue of Sculpture, Oxford, 1993, vol. 1, p. 114). At the same time the elephant featured in exotic architectural styles, such as the Coade Stone models introduced in 1814 by Sir Charles Cockerell at his Mogul-style house, Sezincote, Gloucestershire.
