About the Item
This large leather pouf, crafted in the shape of a turtle, is a charming vintage piece from the 1970s. It features a colorful patchwork shell made from various shades of suede, giving it a playful yet sophisticated look that adds a touch of whimsy to any interior space. The turtle's head and legs are also made of suede, with a slightly worn texture that enhances its vintage appeal. The glass eyes add a lifelike quality, making this piece not just a functional pouf, but also a delightful decorative item.
Despite its age, the pouf remains in good condition, with the underside seams carefully reinforced to ensure durability. While the suede shows some minor signs of wear, particularly on the surface, these small imperfections only contribute to its character and charm.
This turtle pouf would make a perfect addition to a bohemian, mid-century modern, or eclectic home. Its unique design can serve as a playful accent piece in a living room, child's room, or nursery, where it can function as extra seating, a footrest, or even a whimsical statement piece. The blend of colors and textures allows it to seamlessly integrate into various interior design styles, making it a versatile and eye-catching element in your home décor.
Whether you're looking to add a touch of vintage charm or a conversation piece, this 1970s turtle leather pouf is a delightful choice that combines practicality with artistic flair.

Iron Nutcracker in the Shape of a Cockatoo, 19th Century, Poland
Located in Hamburg, DE
This rare and whimsical 19th-century nutcracker from Poland is crafted from solid cast iron and takes the form of a stylized cockatoo. A nut can be placed in the bird’s beak to be cracked, while a second functional element is integrated into the center of the body – making it a playful yet practical object. The detailed shaping of the feathers and the expressive form reflect the fine craftsmanship of the period and lend the piece a sculptural quality that elevates it far beyond a mere kitchen tool.
Nutcracker collecting is a rich and varied field within the world of antiques. While the brightly painted wooden figures from the Erzgebirge are widely known, earlier examples were often made of metal and featured imaginative animal or human forms. Iron nutcrackers...
