80" Leather Superking Rhinoceros by Valenti, Spain, circa 1970s, Signed
By Dimitri Omersa, Valenti
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A rare vintage monumentally sized 80 inch long 'Superking' rhinoceros footstool by Valenti, Spain, circa 1970s. This example is signed with the 'Valenti Made in Spain' stamp on its underside.
