The story goes that “Old Bill”, who worked in the leather trade, made a leather pig footstool from offcuts of leather circa 1927. He continued to make leather pigs, from pigskin in those days, until his retirement around 1958 when he passed on the business to Dimitri Omersa. It was after this date that Dimitri Omersa started to add new animals to the range.
The style of the pig and size has changed over the years. A firm favourite, our leather Yorkshire Pig is a direct descendant of the first pig made by “Old Bill” way back in 1927. Now in six sizes, the largest is the Medium. It makes a great footstool.
- Constructed out of top grain “unfinished” cowhide leather which will develop natural scuff marks reflecting the wear and tear of life.
- Each piece is hand-stained a deep mahogany brown which is then waxed and polished.
- Due to the nature of cowhide and the animals' hand-built internal structure, each piece is never the same giving every piece a unique expression and shape.
- Made to order exclusively for Hunt.
NB: Each piece is made to order, please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.
