Each animal is hand-crafted from English cowhide Omersa has been making leather animals since 1927. There is a huge waiting list for the brand’s humours animal-shaped footstools, each one hand crafted from English full grain cowhide . Fine compressed wood-wool is packed by hand around the frame and is used to build up the features of the animal. As each piece of leather responds differently to this hand crafting process no two animals are ever alike. The leather is hand stained, waxed and polished to achieve a luxurious rich brown antique finish. Www.Omersa.co.uk
