Vintage Antique Leather Dimitri Omersa Elephant Liberty London Footstool, c.1950

About the Item

Beautiful and original example of the iconic elephant footstool made in England by Dimitri Omersa. c.1950 Commissioned by Liberty of London, and later by Abercrombie & Fitch, since the 1920s, the elephant was one of the earliest animals to be produced and has been a staple feature in Omersa's catalogue right up to the modern day. This example would be similar in size to the medium footstool. The leather has developed a beautiful depth of colour. A rare chance to own an all original Omersa footstool with bags of character and charm.
