Dover is a pure aniline leather from choice European raw material. The trademark of this leather is the feel, the sheen and the softness. Dover is best suited for the finest in home furnishings. No other leather looks like it, feels like it or ages like it. Subtle variations in tone and intensity are completely natural and give individual character to each unit manufactured from this leather. Dover is soft, and has a very smooth surface. Only a sophisticated tannage made it possible to create a butter soft leather like the Dover. The drape of the leather lends itself to all applications traditional or contemporary. Visible insect-bites, wrinkles and scars from healed wounds add to the elegant character and beauty of this leather.
For cleaning gently dust the leather off or lightly wipe it off with a damp cloth.
