Description from the seller
Very beautiful, large and decorative horse. The animal is made of leather and has glass eyes. It weighs 2000g, is 47cm high, 57cm wide and 15cm deep. The leather animal probably dates from the mid-century of the last century. In that period, this kind of figures were made a lot, for example in Italy and England, following the iconic designs that were sold by Liberty of London at the beginning of the 20th century.
The beast is very realistically made. Especially the head with the glass eyes looks very true-to-life and the overall design of the statue is also very realistic.
The statue has a leather covering and the leather is nicely glossy. The leather is still well stretched all over, and there are few signs of wear visible. The color is somewhat brown-leather; probably from polishing with various kinds of brown leather grease over the years, but this does not make the piece any less beautiful (see photos).
This leather horse is a jewel in any interior, not only for the horse enthusiast, and certainly also a conversation piece!
The hippo is carefully packed and insured for shipping.
