Description from the seller
This artisanal dromedary from the second half of the 20th century, made entirely of leather, has that warm and slightly exotic presence that characterizes decorative figures made with traditional techniques. With its approximately 35 cm in length, it is a piece of good size, designed to stand out on a console, a bookshelf, or as the central figure in a decorative arrangement.
The body, modeled from a rigid frame covered with molded and dyed leather, shows evident handwork: the neck wrinkles, the tension of the legs, the shape of the hump and the head are resolved with that balance between realism and craftsmanship that brings the animal to life without losing the charm of being handmade. The leather, naturally aged, presents warm nuances ranging from dark brown to honey tones, adding depth and texture.
The harness and saddle, also crafted in leather but in a darker shade, add a narrative touch: they evoke trade routes, caravans, and desert landscapes. The details of the bridle, the visible seams, and the way it fits to the dromedary’s body reinforce the sense of authenticity.
It is a figure that combines workmanship, character, and a traveling air. Its generous size and excellent condition make it a decorative piece with personality, capable of adding warmth and an ethnographic touch to any environment, from a classic interior to a more contemporary one that seeks objects with history and presence.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
