Antico is an aniline leather produced on premium European hides. Antico has a luxurious and supple feel, which continues to enhance and soften with age.
The antique effect of the waxed finish is a mark of prestige and tradition. Each hide of Antico responds differently to the tanning process, with natural scars, marks and colour variation remaining clearly visible. These inherent characteristics are the foundation of the beauty and sophistication of waxed leather.
Antico has been treated for moisture and stain resilience, allowing the individuality of waxed leather to be enjoyed without the concerns of an unprotected hide. Antico is suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
All colours are in stock in our Australian warehouse and available for immediate off-the-shelf delivery.
Custom colours are available on request.
Antico is produced by one of the world’s leading tanners, Rino Mastrotto – an ISO 14001 Certified company. This ISO Standard recognises organisations that are committed to environmental management and operate in an environmentally sustainable manner.
The tannery also carries the ISO 9001 Quality Certification. Their assurance of environmental responsibility extends to a full annual Environmental Impact Audit which accompanies their annual financial statements. This unique practice set the global benchmark for transparency in the tanning industry. The Rino Mastrotto Group utilises some of the most advanced waste management techniques in the industry, with all tannery wastage (liquid, gas and solid) treated to European Standards on-site and again at a shared off-site facility. Antico is produced using only water-based dyes.
The tannery is a Gold rated member of the Leather Working Group which is the leading industry organisation focused on sustainable and responsible leather production.
Antico will require care and maintenance to continually offer the lasting beauty and comfort that only leather can provide.
Protect from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure may cause the leather to fade over time. This is particularly important with waxed aniline leathers.
Protect leather from direct heat sources and heating vents.
Vacuum regularly using soft brush attachments to remove dust & grit.
Remove spills by blotting with a soft & absorbent colourfast cloth.
We recommend the use of Leather Master or Complete Leathercare products for waxed leathers to spot clean and revitalise your leather.
Do not use detergents, solvents or abrasive cleaners. Do not dry clean or machine wash.
Deterioration arising from incorrect or inadequate maintenance are not considered faults in the leather and will void any warranty.
