Hand Dyed Leather
Leave a CommentHandcrafted, Leather Range, Traditional Antique Furniture
We consider that the hand dying of our fine grain leathers is the best that is available for our hand made Chesterfield products. The finishing of the leather in this manner is a time honoured and a truly traditional method of colouring the natural product and certainly gives individuality to the chesterfield.
The way in which our time served professional leather craftsmen colour finish this is the way that it has been done for centuries. Firstly the leather is vegetable tanned and then it is dyed by hand by the craftsman. It is then sealed and then carefully fitted to the chesterfield sofa or chair. This traditional way ensures that the leather has a finish which is deep and rich in colour; because the leather is fine grained it is soft to the touch and over time will develop its own individual patina and will improve with age, just right for a traditional chesterfield.
