Leather Grades

From Hides to Seats  2 to 3 Weeks

LEATHER GRADES

We want you to get the best leather available for your lifestyle.  At Marquee Leather we offer 7 grades of leather, over 100 colors, and, it's the finest leather available. You will never find "splits," vinyl, leather-match of leatherette. At Marquee Leather you will discover quality leather at value pricing. Our leathers are the strongest, most supple and buttery soft, aromatic leathers you can find. Only leather of this quality will absorb moisture and regulate surface temperatures for ultimate comfort. And the elegant appearance is achieved by aniline dying for consistent color which enriches the warmth of your home.

Types of Leather

Leather is the fastest growing upholstery material used in the United States, and for good reason. Only leather carries natural markings, unique to each hide, giving leather furniture its distinction, unmatched in materials of any other kind. Here are the types of leather we use:

Pure Aniline Leather - tanned and aniline dyed with no finished coat (very soft)

Full Aniline Leather - tanned, aniline dyed, and finished with transparent seal coat (soft & easy to clean)

Aniline Plus Leather - tanned, aniline dyed, and finished with a seal coat, colored base, and top coat (great for heavy traffic)

Pull-Up - full, top-grain leathers, aniline dyed and finished with specials oils or waxes to add unique softness and color inconsistency with age
