Rub off leather - Rub off finish
Tub off leather or antique leather is usually dyed in a brighter colour by hand or machine, and a darker colour is swabbed over it, which produces its characteristic two-tone. These leathers are also called antique finish leather. The lighter colour at the bottom shines through the applied darker colour and gives the leather a characteristic patina.
The antique look can be controlled through the thickness of the darker shade on the lighter shade. The more that the patina is applied, the darker is the overall result. The more irregularly it is applied, the more vivid is the look. The patina colour can be sprayed, dotted or wiped off. The spray causes the most uniform appearance. An already applied patina colour can be changed by rubbing it off with solvents or by sanding down with and without solvents. The different application techniques and the art of distributing the colours give the dyer the possibility of a large variety of looks.
without patina - slightly darkened - heavily patinated
In this chair the darker patina colour was wiped on after upholstery work.
In the past, Leather dealer used to sell leather which already had a dark colour over a lighter one together with the appropriate solvent. The leather was then used to upholster furniture still dark. Once on the furniture, it was wiped with the solvent partially to reveal the lighter colour underneath. This then created the patina.
Wiped with solvent to crate the desiered patina by removing the lighter, upper leather colour.
