Leather wallpapers (Peaux d'Espagne, Guadamiciles) were a popular wall ornamentation in the Baroque style, mostly made of thin calfskin, goatskin or sheep leather with paint, as well as silver-plated and gilded elements. They were mainly found in the dwellings of the nobility and patriciate. The origin of leather was probably found in Andalusia and North Africa as a Moorish invention, before they became common throughout Spain and France in the area of today's Germany. From the 18th century onwards, papermaps gradually replaced the leather wallpaper.
In the Moritzburg castle near Dresden in Germany, 300 years ago 60 of the 200 castle rooms were equipped with carved, embossed and painted leather tapestries. Today there are only 13 rooms left.
