    Description

    Decorative Camel Saddle / Footstool
    Purchased at an estate sale in Connecticut from an elderly German couple who traveled extensively in the Middle East.
    I do not know the precise origin or age, but it is definitely old with a nice patina.
    The cushion features cedar trees, so it could be from Lebanon (as the symbol of Lebanon is the cedar tree).
    Dimensions:
    24" long
    14" high
    14" deep
    Condition:
    (we have not polished or refurbished this piece--as some collectors want the original patina.  You could easily touch up the wood with some varnish or Old English Scratch Cover--but we'll leave that up to the buyer)
    --The wooden base is solid with no serious imperfections (other than age and 'patina').
    --The cushion appears to be original and is quite worn (please see photos)
    --The decorative brass caps are intact and feature camels on them
    --And there are 4 brass camels at the base of each leg
    Please e-mail with any questions.  Low starting bid.  We'd simply like to pass this piece on to someone who will enjoy and appreciate it.
    I've kept the shipping charge as 'economy' as possible.
