Facts about Aniline Leather Quality

ANILINE
Only the finest hides in the world fall in this category. Lovers of truly natural products are particular fond of these leathers. Through the years this type of leather develops a patina which adds to its value as a focal point in any room. Only 5% of the total world hide supply fall in this category.-Only “A” grade hides meet this criteria.

FULL ANILINE
Some of the finest hides in the world fall in this category. The only difference is a slightly lower selection of hides can be used here. A slight protective finish ( usually micropigments)is applied by roller or in the tannage to give the leather some serviceability.

SEMI ANILINE / ANILINE
These leathers are processed a little more, first by aniline dying in large drums like the leathers above, but then also finished on top. Spray pigments of color are applied to the tops of the hides to even out the finish and camouflage natural occurring imperfections. These leathers are light resistant and scratch resistant and are easily cleaned. The next 10 – 15% of the world hide supply fall in this category. “B”grade hides meet this criteria.

Below are five tips to keep your legacy leather furniture:

* The sun’s ultraviolet light is a powerful force that will fade the leather color and break down the topcoat. Rotate accessories on a regular basis to reduce having an outline of the item permanently burned into the top and limit direct sunlight as much as possible.

* Don’t use mending plates. Many people prefer to metal mending plates, angle brackets and any other metal bridging device. Wood is an active medium, meaning it expands and contracts with changes in humidity and metal does not. The differences in expansion will provide a practical example of hydraulic power as the metal restrains the wood’s expansion till the wood pulls its self-apart.

* Hot melt glue is not good; as a matter of fact it’s not really even glue. It is okay for arts and craft projects but not for furniture re-gluing so don’t use it on any furniture item you don’t wish to defile.

* Almost as sad as the puppy problem is Teen girls. Well not the girls really, but their nail polish, and especially that bad nail polish cohort, nail polish remover.

* Puppies! Yes Puppies, they are babies you know, baby dogs, and just like baby humans they teethe. The question is not if they will teethe it is when, so be extra careful to keep puppy and furniture under surveillance during this toothy time.
