The seat is a haired cowhide cushion in warm russet and white over a curved wood cradle, and the splayed legs carry stamped-brass acanthus mounts and rows of domed studs. It folds flat at the pivots, and it works as a footstool, an accent seat, or a low occasional piece in a boho, lodge, or global-styled room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 15 in H x 22 in W x 12 in D\u003cbr\u003e[d]Finish | Natural sealed wood, cushion in haired cowhide\u003cbr\u003e[d]Primary Material | Beech frame, cowhide and leather cushion\u003cbr\u003e[d]Period | Vintage\u003cbr\u003e[d]Date | Circa 1960s\u003cbr\u003e[d]Origin | Egypt or North Africa\u003cbr\u003e[d]Style | Camel saddle stool\u003cbr\u003e[d]Also Known As | tabouret chameau, camel stool\u003cbr\u003e[d]Construction | Folding knock-down X-frame, ball-and-dowel pivots, numbered assembly rails\u003cbr\u003e[d]Hardware | Stamped-brass acanthus appliqués, domed upholstery studs, floral rosette leg caps\u003cbr\u003e[d]Seat Height | Approximately 15 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[condition]\u003cbr\u003eGood vintage decorative condition, sold as-is with photos governing. The beech frame is solid and the folding pivots are intact and functional; the rails are stamp-numbered for assembly, consistent with its knock-down production. The seat cushion is a haired cowhide over a tan leather underside and is very likely a later recovering rather than original to the frame, closing with a modern nylon coil zipper. There is an open tear in the hide at one rounded front corner, in the white section beside the rosette-capped leg, where the hide has split and gapped to expose the backing beneath (see photos). The hide also shows general surface wear, light soiling, and a few rubbed areas. The brass appliqués and stud rows are secure with light tarnish and minor loss of gilding in spots. This is a decorative and light-use piece, not a heavily built seat; date is a construction-based estimate, there is no maker's mark, and dimensions are approximate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#71\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51482658996502,"sku":"AMD-03509","price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_FranceInventoryContinued-9881.jpg?v=1785388146","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/vintage-cowhide-camel-saddle-stool-1960s","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
