Iconic piece of mid-century design history! Vintage rhinoceros footstool/ottoman designed by Dimitri Omersa and handcrafted in England during the 1960s. These legendary leather menagerie pieces were famously sold through elite luxury retailers, most notably Abercrombie & Fitch in the United States and Liberty of London in the United Kingdom.
Constructed from heavy, full-grain brown leather meticulously hand-stitched in thick sectional panels over a solid, weighted frame. It showcases all the classic Omersa details: expressive floppy ears, sturdy curved horns, and its original leather tassel tail. The hide features a gorgeous, deep amber-brown patina with rich tonal variation that only decades of authentic aging can produce. Measures 11.5"H.
Highly collectible and structurally sound, this rhino brings instant character, warmth, and a touch of whimsical luxury to any mid-century modern, eclectic, or traditional space.
Very good vintage condition. The leather has a beautiful, rich aged patina with minor surface scuffs and wear consistent with age and use. Structure is completely solid and firm.
