The Cordoban Technique is goat skin tanned and worked with great quality, which became synonymous with refinement.

The frame, of classic design, presents a meticulous work of embossing with geometric and floral motifs, enhanced by a series of original metal studs that highlight the contours and provide visual rhythm.

The leather surface retains its authentic patina with natural crackle, testimony to the passage of time, with no loss or structural breaks. The embossing remains defined and the glass is in excellent condition, without scratches or defects.

Its combination of noble materials, artisanal techniques and ornamental details makes it a collector's item that is difficult to find in this level of preservation.


Excellent overall condition for its age. The original leather is naturally crackled, the decorative studs are intact and the embossing retains great definition. The glass has no cracks or scratches, although it shows slight glazes of time See less
