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 a good size, meant to stand out on a console, a shelf, or as the central figure in a decorative arrangement.
The body, modeled from a rigid framework covered with molded and dyed leather, shows evident manual workmanship: the wrinkles of the neck, the tension of the legs, the shape of the hump and the head are resolved with that balance between realism and craftsmanship that gives life to the animal without losing the charm of something handmade. The leather, aged naturally, presents warm nuances ranging from dark brown to honey tones, adding depth and texture.
The harness and saddle, also worked in leather but in a darker shade, add a narrative touch: they evoke trade routes, caravans and desert landscapes. The details of the tack, the visible stitching and the way it fits to the dromedary’s body reinforce the sense of authenticity.
It is a figure that combines craftsmanship, character and a traveling air. Its generous size and excellent condition make it a decorative piece with personality, capable of bringing warmth and an ethnographic touch to any environment, from a classic interior to a more contemporary one that seeks objects with history and presence.
Registered shipping and good packaging.
