 The traces of nature
As already stated at the beginning: you can recognize the naturalness of leather by the fact that according to the type of leather the so-called natural features of the animal hide are more or less visible. A part of the animal’s life can be read from the animal’s hide - from injuries caused by barbed wires or insect stings up to fighting traces. Just imagine this natural origin when looking at a leather and discovering an unevenness. (Of course, this does not concern defects which have been produced through the manufacturing process of the leather or the piece of furniture. This, indeed, happens very seldom).
Please find below a short list of possible natural features and two exemplary photos to give you an impression how these features make themselves felt:
- blood vessels
- muck parts
- grains
- insect stings
- fork stabs
- horn butt injuries
- fattening wrinkles
- fat rash
- pigmentation marks
- comb chaps
- hedge chaps
- warts

Leder: Unerwünschte Gebrauchsspuren
Regelmäßige Pflege hilft Ihrem Ledermöbel, lange schön zu bleiben. Es gilt, nicht nur vorzeitigem Verflecken, sondern auch Rissen, unschönem Farbabrieb und Ausbleichen vorzubeugen. Wie dazu durch richtige Pflege beigetragen werden kann, wurde bei den einzelnen Ledertypen erläutert.
Hier zwei Fotos, die als „abschreckende“ Beispiele zeigen sollen, wie sich die genannten Veränderungen zeigen können.
