Sauvage Burnished Leather Collection

SAUVAGE is a full grain aniline leather tanned in a historic leather producing region of Italy using English hides. The century old tannery prepares this leather article by applying a hot wax, then turning the hides in old wooden tanning drums overnight to soften the natural fibers and impart it with a remarkable suppleness. The leather is then upholstered in its "crust form" on the furniture. After the furniture is made our leather artisans apply a multi-step hand rubbed Patina using the same waxes and pigments used in Italy. Performing this process on the actual finished piece allows our artisans to develop a unique Patina composition, and overall essence that creates a piece of furniture with uniqueness, character and style that matches the individual who's selecting it. Sauvage imparts the feeling of a softer, well broken in leather one might find on a decades old chair without the aging issues that sometimes come from the hands of time. Truly a unique, hand-made article in an era when only companies committed to the highest standards lavish this sort of attention and time to unique American made furniture.

Leather can be purchased by the hide or on a square foot basis. For leather cut to size, we will compute the square footage and DOUBLE the price per foot to account for the leather yield. Whole hides average 48 square feet. Use the following chart when estimating requirements.
