Some pieces are simply too special to pass up. Dating to approximately 1940, this vintage leather pommel horse from Eastern Europe is one of those rare finds that makes us fall in love with antique furniture all over again.
Originally made for gymnastics, it has been beautifully worn by decades of use. The rich, aged leather, simple lines and wonderfully unusual proportions give it a character that couldn't be recreated.
We can picture it tucked beneath a beautiful entryway console, ready to pull out when you need a place to sit and put on your shoes. Practical, unexpected and so much more interesting than an ordinary bench.
A genuine one-of-a-kind find, with nearly a century of history and an entirely new life ahead of it.

Why We Love It
We have a soft spot for pieces that weren't originally intended to be furniture but turn out to be absolutely perfect for it. The patina on this leather is extraordinary, and we love the idea of giving something with such an interesting past a new purpose. You won't find another quite like it.
