Named after an English architect, the Eastlake style of American furniture flourished from the 1870s to the 1890s. Custer's Last Stand at Little Big Horn took place in 1876. This simplified style represented the last gasp of Victorian furniture design, before its replacement by Gustav Stickley's "Craftsman" and "Mission" styles.

A lot of Eastlake furniture still exists, gathering dust. I've decided to create a new design line reupholstering Eastlake seating with dramatic hair-on-hide cowskin and gently faded blue denim. It's in part a tribute to my grandfather, born when Eastlake furniture was in vogue in 1895, who owned cattle ranches and leather tanneries in the state of Jalisco, Mexico.
