This type of furniture in our opinion is one of the best on the market.

When your chair or sofa has worn out it can be brought back to life.

We use only Scottish leather from the Andrew Muirhead tannery in Scotland.

Click onto the News letter page for more information on Scottish leather.

All renovations come with a 3 year warranty on the leather and our workmanship.

Our customers come from all over the country. Yes, transport does
add to the cost but when finished
in Scottish leather the results are stunning.

Any bolts, pins etc that are worn or damaged are replaced with genuine parts.

We give a written quotation before any work is started and our terms and conditions apply.

We only use Andrew Muirhead leather from the
Sateen & Arisaig ranges which have
61 colours to choose from and the Ingleston range which has 44 colours to choose from.

The Sateen & Arisaig ranges are used in the aircraft industry which has very specialised demands.

The Ingleston range is used in the Marine and automotive market where style, look and feel plus safety and durability are important.

Every few years Andrew Muirhead introduce new colours and ranges and we now have new swatches in stock.

Below are pictures of our workmanship, before and after.

A strange picture of furniture you may say.

This is a picture of our local Blacksmith who had an apron

made in
Scottish Sateen leather 6 months a go.

It is in daily use and has no tears or welding burns.

This shows just how robust the leather is we use from Andrew Muirhead.
