We have selected an Italian wax finished, full aniline leather hide which has been used to expertly re-upholster the lounge chair and its ottoman: One of the typical features of aniline is that the skin shows natural imperfections, such as creases, insect bitemarks, perhaps scars, forming a natural part of the material used. The leather will change colour over time, a much desired effect only achieved by high end hides, making this set age in its own unique way. This piece has an attribution mark, I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
