This vintage book contains a detailed and practical guide to decorating leather. Profusely illustrated and containing many examples of leather decoration from various sources, this volume will be of considerable utility to those with a practical interest in leather working and decorating. Contents include: "The Decoration of Leather in the Past", "Tools and Leather", "Methods of Working in Leather", "Leather Mosaic", "Dyes, Patines and Gilding", "The Choice of Design and Colour", "Leather Hangings an Furniture", "Some Extracts from the Report of the Committee on Leather for Bookbinding, Appointed by the Council of the Society of Arts, February, 1900", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on leather crafting. First published in 1905.
