Parchment Leather: A Tradition of Excellence
Parchment leather, steeped in tradition, is a classic method of tanning leather and has found applications in a multitude of creative fields. From writing documents that withstand the test of time to crafting exquisite wall hangings, designer portraits, and paintings, parchment leather has been revered for its versatility. It even graces the world of furniture, contributing to the creation of some of the most opulent pieces. What sets our parchment leather apart is its natural tanning process, ensuring it remains free from any unpleasant odors.

Parchment can truly last indefinitely, standing as a testament to the enduring nature of humanity.

Tips for Working with Parchment
Prevent Ink Bleeding: Polish the back of the parchment with a dry cloth before writing or printing to prevent ink bleedings.
Calligraphy Corrections: For calligraphy corrections, use a precision knife or a scouring pad instead of sandpaper for gentler treatment.
Choose Wisely: White or natural parchment is more suitable for painting, offering vibrant colors compared to antique parchment.
Secure Your Work: When painting, secure the parchment sheet on a wooden surface with drawing pins, and wait for the paint to dry before removing them.
Seal Your Art: Use matte acrylic varnish spray to seal all types of paint and ink.
Drying Time: Allow printed parchment to dry for 24 hours before applying varnish.
Framing: If framing parchment artwork, mount it on 3mm thick MDF instead of paper, as parchment reacts differently to temperature and humidity changes.
Flatten Rolled Parchment: To flatten rolled parchment, place heavy books on it and wait for a few days.
