The Labrador was introduced to the range in the mid 1980’s and has been a consistent favorite.
The dog is dressed with a brown collar with nickel buckle which we make in our workshop (no longer tan with studs as shown in main product picture).

The Omersa animal is primarily designed as a decorative accessory for an interior space. The larger sizes (large, medium and standard sizes) can be used as a footstool whilst the smaller pieces (small and miniature) are more suitable for decoration.
The internal metal and wooden frame will withstand the average adult weight and a certain amount of rough play but please be aware the product is built primarily as an ornament.
The main product features are:
Top grain “unfinished” cowhide leather which will develop natural scuff marks reflecting the wear and tear of life
Internal metal and wooden frame to give support and weight
Hand filled with wood wool (shredded pine wood) to create shape and features
As each piece of leather behaves differently no two animals are the same, the sizes given are approximate and will vary
Hand stained mahogany brown, waxed, and polished NOTE: the stain is water-based and can be susceptible to water damage.
Product Care:
To keep your animal in the best of health for a long and happy life, may we suggest the following care tips:
Dust and apply a coat of NIKWAX Waterproofing Wax regularly (say every 6 weeks). DO NOT USE any spray or liquid polish as these will damage the color
Keep your animal dry and away from water. Regular coats of NIKWAX will help waterproof your animal against water damage
Keep your animal out of direct sunlight and or direct heat to prevent leather from drying out
Supervise very young children playing with an animal. They have a tendency to put tails, ears etc in their mouth and the stain may come off. NOTE: the stain is NON TOXIC
The product is designed primarily as a decorative item for the home. It is NOT built to furniture standards and the internal frame will only stand a certain amount of rough play!
If the color of your animal does fade and you would like to darken up, please purchase a bottle of stain to apply. To get best results, Nikwax should be applied after re-staining.
