Just about every animal skin has been processed into leather for all types of uses. This couch and ottoman is our first antelope couch! The Kudu antelope is the largest in Africa and our customer has owned this Kudu leather couch and ottoman for 25 years. This couch has been all around the world!
Stained and faded along with needing a good filling top up, we set to work before Christmas restoring this unique piece. The spine area of the leather along with many scars and cuts made this one of the more interesting couches we have restored.
We returned our customers "new" couch to their new home and it looked great in their front entertainment room! We received an email just today.
"Just wanted to say Thank you for making our sofa and ottoman look better than new! We are truly delighted with them.
I was also a bit worried the sofa might over-power our room, but it looks amazing, and gives the room a warm, welcoming feel.
I will be pleased to recommend you to anyone, and in fact my ex-neighbour may want her 2 lounge sofa's refurbished, so I will pass your details to her."
With thanks!

It was a privilege to work on restoring such a unique piece of furniture!
