Leather / Decorative Leather / Embossed Leather

Decorative leather has long been admired for its ability to bring warmth, richness and quiet grandeur to an interior. At Hare & Humphreys, we specialise in creating bespoke leather finishes — from smooth, subtly aged panels to finely embossed leather wall coverings and hand-tooled detailing.

For centuries, decorative leather has lined the walls of libraries, dining rooms and state apartments, offering a durable yet luxurious surface that mellows beautifully over time. Our artisans continue this tradition, combining time-honoured techniques with a deep understanding of modern design requirements.

Working with the finest hides, we craft and install leather that is tailored to each setting — whether restoring an historic embossed leather wall or designing a contemporary feature that celebrates this remarkable material. Patterns can be embossed, gilded, hand-painted or left natural to highlight the inherent texture and character of the leather.

Each leather finish is unique. Carefully prepared, tooled and polished by hand, it becomes an integral part of the room — adding depth, warmth and a sense of heritage. From classic motifs to modern interpretations, we work closely with designers, architects and private clients to realise their vision with sensitivity and skill.
