A skiver is the type of leather that is inset into a desk or bureaux writing surface, quite often with a gold tooling around the edge. It is normally made of a very fine type of leather often sheep or calves skin.
We can make you a skiver to order with inlaid tooling to a pattern of your choice. Please email for pattern leaflet and state the colour of the leather required so that we can send you actual samples.
