This type of sculpture was notably made for Liberty’s of London, particularly during the 1940s and 50s, and was popular among wealthy clientele. The realistic appearance of the camel is achieved through detailed hand-carved wood covered with aged leather, often featuring original glass eyes. These sculptures are considered decorative items and can add character to various spaces, such as end tables, office desks, bookshelves, or empty corners in a room. They are known for their quality craftsmanship and the natural-looking portrayal of the camel in a relaxed, standing pose with a saddle.
