Burnished Leather

I am still in the early process of deciding what pieces that I want, but I have been reading about burnished leather. I usually prefer the waxed-pullup leathers , but I'm really liking the look of Buckingham Walnut . Any thoughts on the durability of this leather ?

A burnished leather is simply a waxed/pull-up leather (almost always from Italy) that has had the top wax coat removed, Then the piece is fully upholstered thenis tinted by hand with a durable color agent, then gone over with sealer to lock in the hand-antiquing. The result is a handsome look, all the characteristics of a Pull-Up hide, with less color burst effect, and the top coat makes it very durable.

They do tend to be noisy leathers due to the sealer coat, but that can be quieted or eliminated entirely by applying Moore & Giles # 51 Conditioner to the hides. I have all the pieces in my own home (except for two) in burnished hides, love it. Tough, Good Looking and durable.

You can also re-burnish the leather as well, should it sun-fade as mine did over an 11-year period. Here you can see how I took them back to Hancock and Moore and Melissa fixed me right up, made them look new again.
