Why Choose Leather for Furniture?

While there are many durable and fashionable fabrics available for furniture at many price ranges, I want to focus on leather as an option and a choice for your furniture. In addition, there are environmentally-friendly options for leather furniture as there are for fabrics, such as hemp and flax (linen).

www.americanfurniture.comLeather for furniture can be dyed, stained, waxed, sanded, embossed, and pigmented by hand to achieve the look and finish that the tanner desires. Each process and how it is done will determine the final look, feel and durability of the leather. The finest hides are aniline dyed in a vat so that the dye penetrates the hides completely and offers better color consistency. Fine leathers are often �micropigmented� by adding a light layer of pigment to the surface to make the color even more uniform without affecting the �hand� or feel of the leather.At American Furniture Galleries we meet people everyday excited to purchase leather furniture and we love the opportunity to help them.
