It is always amusing to have BEFORE and AFTER pictures.
Such a restoration requires a good knowledge on leather and its components.


It also requires quite a few products that are not easy to found in the stores.
The front face of the trunk has been burnt by being placed too close to a fireplace.
The trunk has been used as a coffee table with no protection glass on the top, and some Indian ink has been spilt on the leather.
