Round Copper Guilded Leather Bowl
Round Copper Guilded Leather Bowl
Made from smooth vegtan (a natural tanning process) cow leather, it is hand embellished with real copper leaf to accent the central design. The rim is carefully burnished to create a finished edge. Like all vegtan leathers, it will develop a deeper, richer color with age and exposure to UV light. Like the leather itself, natural copper changes color over time as it oxidizes, slowly forming a lovely patina. Lightly conditioned with a leather wax for protection, this piece it is not fully waterproof, but will age beautifully.
Exploring vessel shapes and leather as a primary material is the inspiration for this piece, therefore it is meant to be an art object and not a utility serving piece.
