It is surrounded by shimmering sliver foliage, flowers and a stunning, intricate silver frame. You can be sure you’ll be the only person in your neighbourhood with a deck like this. Before there was wallpaper there was gilded leather. The wealthy decorated their walls with beautifully carved embossed gilded panels of leather. Gilded leather originated in Libya around the 6th century. By the 9th century it was being produced in Spain and became popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. Gilded leather is actually leather covered with a silver foil. To keep the silver from oxidising a varnish was applied that gave it a golden colour. The craft continues to this day with many artisans reproducing ancient and famous patterns. The Zebra Cove LUXURY LEATHER COLLECTION also reproduces some of the most beautiful and striking patterns in high quality, high resolution print and applies them to everyday objects so that we can all enjoy this rare and exquisite art form.
