Picturess of mostly burnished leathers

[anaye]

Over the past month I've been searching through all the photos Duane has taken from the furniture shows for pictures of burnished and antiqued leathers, and I have been saving links to show my wife. So I figured I would post these so at least someone else would be able to find them if they did a search.

anaye, what a fantastic resource you have provided - thank you. It really helps me out since I've taken a keen interest in the burnished leathers. The one link that interests me from what you have given above is the Sahara Mocha Burnished. Perhaps Duane can give a little more info on the Sahara leather, I can't seem to find it on the H&M website or on Duane's leather description pages.

[drcollie]

Sahara is come and gone.... some leathers don't stay in the lineup very long. Great post! That took some time to hook up all those links. Strong Work.

[Kornande]

Noted in one of the 'Burnished' leather collage of photos, the pair of Yosemite side chairs in French Luggage ... was that from your store floor or elsewhere?

[drcollie]

Not from my store as I never buy pairs of anything.

[erinn]

Between the Cameo, Buckingham, and Weston, are there differences in durability, softness, texture, sheen and squeakiness?

[drcollie]

Pretty much all burnished hides will have the same texture and hand, and sheen.

[erinn]

I thought I had read somewhere on here that Cameo was a softer leather.

[drcollie]

Cameo is a burnished leather, and because of the glaze/toner/sealer topcoat, no Burnished leather is considered 'soft' when put up against true luxury soft hides such as Capri, Quintessence or Ricardo.

[erinn]

Sorry with my million questions, I do search and search on the forum for answers before I ask so hopefully I'm not making you feel like a broken record.

Can leathers with pebbling be burnished? If so, have you ever seen it done and how did it look?

Since burnishing is done by hand, can a special request be made to make the piece have a extra matte finish?

And I'm curious, what creates the sheen in a burnished piece or other unprotected leathers, is it the Teflon coating? wax?
