A stunning example of mid-century animalier art, this hand-molded leather Greyhound (or Whippet) figurine captures the elegance and athletic grace of the breed. Produced by the renowned Canadian artisan brand Chateau Leather, this piece is a testament to the traditional technique of stretching high-quality leather over a structured frame to create lifelike anatomical detail.
Origin: Hand-crafted in Canada by Chateau Leather.
Material: Authentic, hand-dyed natural leather with a rich, aged patina.
Signature: Features the original 'Chateau Leather' maker's mark and artist's signature on the felted base.
Aesthetic: Perfect for Mid-Century Modern (MCM) interiors, libraries, or as a sophisticated desk accessory.
Condition: Excellent vintage character. Some light, age-related craquelure near the neckline adds to the authentic 'time-worn' appeal of the leather. The nose has a tiny chip as depicted on the pictures.
A rare find for the European market, this North American import offers a unique alternative to the more common Italian leather animals of the same era.
