FAQs

Embossed and painted leather screens, often referred to as Spanish leather, gained popularity in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, heavily influenced by imported Japanese and Chinese screens. Craftsmen utilised techniques such as tooling, gilding, and painting on heavy hide to create opulent dividers for wealthy interiors.

These pieces typically consist of heavy cattle hide that is dampened, pressed into carved wooden moulds to create embossed reliefs, and then hand-painted and gilded. The panels are assembled using wooden frames and joined with metal hinges or brass studs.

Authenticity is determined by examining the weight and thickness of the hide, the presence of hand-tooling rather than machine stamping, traditional joinery on the reverse frame, and natural wear patterns such as craquelure and oxidisation on the metal elements.

Such pieces function well as architectural room dividers in open-plan spaces, or placed against a neutral wall as large-scale vertical art to add texture, warmth, and historic contrast to contemporary minimalist schemes.

Preservation requires keeping the leather away from direct sunlight, maintaining stable relative humidity to prevent cracking or warping, and dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth without applying modern chemical treatments or oils.
