Description from the seller
Very beautiful and decorative leather giraffe.
The animal is made of leather and has glass eyes.
It weighs 1500g, is 68cm(!) tall, about 40cm wide and 14cm deep.
The leather animal probably dates from the last quarter of the previous century (it could be a little older). Probably the animal was made in Africa and at some point ended up in Europe as a souvenir.
The animal is made very realistically. All proportions seem to be correct, and the shape is also quite identical to a living animal.
The leather’s sheen is superb. The animal was crafted by skilled hands, and shows little and only logical signs of wear.
This leather giraffe is a jewel in any interior and certainly also a conversation piece!
The giraffe is carefully packed and insured for shipping.
Seller's Story
I sell antique and vintage products. The items I sell are very diverse in nature; from lamps to side tables, from phones to wooden sculptures, from vintage kitchen equipment to Art Deco and Art Nouveau coat racks, and everything in between. The things I buy are usually objects that I personally like and that are of high quality. It sometimes takes effort to part with them!
My expertise lies primarily in products from the 20th century.
I ship in used boxes combined with paper filler material. The boxes are sturdy. Usually made of double-wall cardboard. I ship, unless otherwise agreed, always within two days of purchase. I attach great importance to friendly, decent and reliable contact with my buyers.
