Axis deer hides are a true showstopper - the natural pattern fits just as well into the log cabins, as they do in small city apartment dens or a traditional home wood-paneled library.

Chesterfield Cow is the classic "pull-up" upholstery hide meaning that it surface absorbs creases to give it a beautiful distressed look. Chesterfield is an oil-tanned leather, meaning when the leather is worked the oils, which give the hide its color, move from one area to another achieving a beautiful vintage look. It is made of top quality German hides.

The base chair is exquisitely carved antique from late 1800s. It was fully stripped of all prior upholstery, tacking strips rebuilt, seat base re-webbed and new springs sewn in and tied by hand. Original horsehair stuffing was retained for authenticity, then covered with the new padding and finished with the Axis deer hide and cow leather. Brass tacks complete the piece. See less
