Leather Elephant

Our large leather elephant is a stately beast with lovely big ears and ivory leather tusks! He is too tall to be used as a footstool but is suitable to be used as an occasional seat.

The product is hand made by Omersa from British cowhide leather. Inside the leather there is a sturdy metal and wooden frame firmly surrounded by woodwool; the woodwool is hand worked to give the shape of the animal. Once assembled, the leather is stained to give an “antique” effect, then waxed and polished to  give a luxurious finish. There is wire sewn in to the edges of the ears to keep them upright.

This sized leather elephant with his trunk pointing downwards is suitable as a footstool or occasional seat. The tusks are made from ivory leather and the ears are edged with wire to keep them “flapping”!

The elephant was originally introduced by Dimitri Omersa in the early 1960’s when it was sold exclusively through Liberty’s for approximately 10 years. The word “LIBERTY” can be found embossed on the inside of the ear of these older pieces. For a picture go to “Owners Club” and select “Animal Hospital” where there is a picture of Nellie, a “Liberty” elephant.
