Burnished Leather

Burnished leather refers to a type of leather that has undergone polishing or buffing to create a distinctive, textured appearance. The burnishing process entails rubbing the leather surface with a burnishing tool or cloth until it becomes smooth and glossy. This can be achieved by hand using a burnishing tool, or mechanically, employing a rotary burnishing machine.

Featuring a unique matte or semi-glossy finish, burnished leather adds depth and character to any object. The final look can differ based on the extent of burnishing applied, with some products showcasing a more understated finish, while others exhibit a bolder one.

A key advantage of burnished leather is its graceful aging, acquiring a natural patina over time. The patina results from exposure to air, light, and natural oils, causing the leather to darken and acquire a sheen. This imparts a singular charm to burnished leather items that cannot be duplicated.
