Description:

‘Old English’ is an aniline-finished leather that is tanned to ensure a pleasing distressed or ‘aged’ finish from new. Extra-fat liquors were applied during tanning to give the leather a slightly waxy feel. These leathers are designed to allow the natural marking variations of the leather to show through to the finish coat.

Pull-up leathers do not have a consistent color density across the whole hide and are designed to change color and sheen when pulled or stretched. They are not as colorfast as pigmented hides and are designed to allow furniture to age and relax through use and over time.

Each hide is unique, as will be the furniture on which it is used. The studding is achieved with close individual nails or studs, not by using strips, and each nail was individually hammered in by hand.

The seat has individual double cone hand springs; each spring is hand-sewn to the beechwood frame, and the filling is canvas, fiber, and felt.

Handmade furniture of this quality will last for generations if well cared for.
