80" Leather Superking Rhinoceros by Valenti, Spain, circa 1970s, Signed
About the Item
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. Similar to leather animal designs by Dimitri Omersa for Abercrombie & Fitch.
Some creative ways to use this Omersa style leather rhino is as a floor or table / credenza sculpture or as a footstool or armrest next to your favorite lounge chair or reading armchair. Due to internal structural issues, not advised to use as a bench or other type of seating without first repairing the internal structure.
As you can see in our photos, we have a large collection of Omersa leather animals. Some examples include lions, dogs, bears, bulls, elephants, hippopotamus's, pigs, donkey's, ducks, and much more. And we have stock in various sizes for many of the animals, such as 4 different sizes of the rhinoceros.
This Omersa style footstool by Valenti would work great in a Postmodern, Mid-Century Modern, Farmhouse, Scandinavian Modern or Danish modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room. Also consider mixing it up in a traditional, transitional, classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.
MEASUREMENTS:
80" long, 23.5" tall, 20.5" wide
CONDITION:
Fair vintage condition. Rhinoceros has lost his shape and sags in the belly area, the rhino's chin rests on the floor due to a break in the internal structure to one leg, along with internal foam hardened and disintegrated in some areas. He leans to the side but is stable once set in place. There are several areas of patching, the largest on the back, approximately 32" x 17". Areas of later stitching along several seams. Missing tail however a new one can be made upon request.
