Synopsis
Excerpt from Modeled Leather
The Germans lead the world in craftsmanship, just as they have in musical composition. The Roy crofters imported the Germans - the Teutons did the rest!
They have taught this wonderful Art to a score or more of Roycroft boys and girls, so now we believe we are producing the best work in this line in America.
Modeled leather is simply a high grade of heavy leather, decorated by hand. The staining of the leather also plays an important part in the Art. Modeled leather is non-breakable, lasts four hun dred and forty years, is individual, peculiar, distinct and highly artistic Do not confuse this work with stamped leather - that is something else.
