Pair of vintage British leather rocking chairs, 1950

Mid 20th Century British made pair of tan leather rocking chairs, howing superb patina and colour, this wonderful pair of chairs were hand upholstered sheepskin leather in Britain by the finest craftsmen in the mid part of the 20th century. The design and craftsmanship of sheep leather furniture was perfected in Britain and spread to other countries in northern Europe. In terms of construction, the framework for sofas and chairs were initially constructed in mahogany, the preferred hard wood, and then upholstered in 100% natural sheep leather. This type of hide was carefully chosen and preferred over cow leather because of its durability and uniqueness, giving each piece a lovely rich and buttery patina. Fantastic look for any interior, both modern and traditional. We offer complimentary shipping to all our customers in Great Britain.
