This vintage leather rhinoceros serves as a distinctive decorative object and sculptural footstool. Characterised by its charming zoomorphic silhouette, the piece captures the essence of mid-century safari-inspired design.
Constructed from multiple panels of genuine leather, the rhinoceros features a patchwork design in varying shades of rich brown. The heavy topstitching highlights the artisanal construction, while the sturdy legs allow it to function as a whimsical floor accent or resting stool. The piece relies entirely on its material composition and form to create a striking visual impact.
The piece is presented in its original vintage condition, displaying a deep, authentic patina developed over decades. It possesses significant character, reflecting its history and previous use, and is offered exactly as found.
Ideal for adding a touch of eclectic charm to a study, library, or living area. This sculptural leather animal pairs exceptionally well with rich wood tones and classic vintage interiors.
Background note : Bought by friends in the Seventies in an exclusive Interior Design Shop in the Woluwe Shopping Centre in Brussels.
It's in a very battered state but still decorative and quite amusing. Kids have loved it ! Weight nearly 3 kg. Very difficult to measure. No returns !
