Info about Leather...
A little leather knowledge: “Not all Leather is the same!!”
Please do not compare this Leather with subsequent, i.e. artificially grained, Leather. With artificially grained Leather, the lower layers of the animal skin (split leather) are pressed through heated steel rollers. The rollers have a surface that mimics the natural grain of leather and use pressure and heat to create an artificial grain (embossing) on the original smooth leather.
This artificially grained Leather is very often used in leather furniture that is found on eBay, Amazon & Co as well as in upholstered furniture department stores with so-called bargain prices, producer prices, direct purchase prices, etc. (often Chinese goods). This Furniture is often advertised with the term “genuine Leather”, which is factually correct. This does not mean high quality, it is by no means a seal of quality, it only means that it is not artificial leather!!
The Leather is characterized by quite a lot of wear and tear; with normal use the grain disappears after a while. It also feels cold and often quite rubbery due to the high amount of paint applied. The difference in quality is also noticeable in terms of price; at tanneries it only costs about 1/3 of the price of high-quality Leather, as in the traditional sense it is actually scrap or third-choice goods.
Hue:
deep black
The photos are highly exposed so that the 1a condition can be seen in detail! The shine in the photos or grayish areas are due to the exposure or lighting (reflections), in person the Leather is satin matt and deep black.
Dimensions:
approx. W: 78cm; D: 70cm; H: 72cm; Sh: 44cm; St: 47cm
Condition:
The Joker Chair is technically and optically in impeccable, excellent and new original condition. Something like this is extremely rare and almost impossible to get. You won't find the usual blemishes and scratches on the chrome surface or on the corners and edges. The Leather is also like new! Everything in absolute top condition. This is something for the collector who has been searching for years. By far the best Jocker Chairs on the market worldwide!
The Armchairs comes from an architect's household, where the almost unused upper floor was full of design classics in the best and new condition.
