FAQs

Exotic leather cases, including crocodile and alligator skins, became highly popular during the Victorian and Edwardian periods as symbols of status and wealth among affluent travellers and collectors.

These pieces typically feature genuine exotic reptile skin mounted over a rigid wood or papier-mache carcase, lined with silk, velvet, or leather, and fitted with brass or gilt metal hardware and secure locks.

Authentic pieces often feature makers marks or stamps on the internal leather lining or metal fittings, superior quality stitching, natural scale variations unique to genuine skin, and heavy brass or silver-plated locks.

Such textural accessories work well displayed closed on a dressing table, desk, or bookshelf to add a layer of heritage, tactile contrast, and sophisticated gentlemans library appeal to contemporary spaces.

Keep the item out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying of the skin, avoid excessive moisture, and occasionally treat the leather with specialised museum-grade microcrystalline wax or conditioner to maintain suppleness.
