Omersa's Large Galapagos Turtle makes a magnificent pouffe which can be used as a footrest. The “shell” is made from a patchwork of leather and once stained and polished gives a lovely tortoiseshell effect. Inside there is a robust frame made from wood with an attached metal support for the neck.
This is the largest of the four Galapagos turtle sizes.
- 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 8 weeks for delivery.
