Category: Shagreen

Description: A texturally rich and visually intriguing material, shagreen or “galuchat” in French, shark and stingray skins were originally used by the Japanese to decorate armour and weaponry. Later, Europeans used the strong lustrous skin for precious boxes and scientific instruments. Most famously, during the Art Deco period, modernist decorators such as Jean Michel Frank and Clement Rousseau applied stingray skin to their furniture and lighting collections.
