Description
This is a fabulous large model of a very charcterful giraffe. The vintage giraffe is really well modelled with great form.
Handcrafted in India, this unique piece features an underlying wood and wired frame completely wrapped in a patchwork of vintage sari textile remnants and traditional kantha-style fabrics.
The sculpture has a striking palette of contrasting colours. Each section is artfully joined by decorative hand-stitching, adding wonderful texture and rustic, artisanal character to the overall design.
This particular giraffe stands 150cm tall and is 70cm long so has quite a presence in a room. We also have other animals in stock by the same maker to include three other giraffes and three beautiful camels. Please see our other listings.
