Custom Design Leather Products
We purchase premium leathers from throughout the world, obtaining the correct type and colour of leather for each task. Gary Olsson colour stains and antiques leather by hand for that artistic and authentic touch. Gilding can be antiqued as well, if desired. Embossing can be done on leather, felt (baise) and even some fabrics. It can be blind (no colour), or in genuine 22ct gold, silver (platinum) or a wide range of colours. We only use English Haynesworth Baise (felt) as it simply is the best and comes in a wide range of colours. For spans of leather for upholstery and interior paneling, we do custom tooling in any graphic design whatsoever.
Restoration and Conservation of Leather
We go to whatever length is required to ensure painstaking adherence to authentic originality, whether the project is leather design, about preservation, conservation, restoration or reproduction. Our attention to detail is second to none as we engage in traditional craftsmanship, styling to the time period your piece requires. Resplendent interiors are achieved using traditional methods and superior materials, sourced locally and internationally. Whether your piece be contemporary or classic, new or antique, our craftsmanship will maximise longevity and value.
