    Frequently Asked Questions

    What leather desk accessories belong on a working desk?

    Leather desk accessories are the hide-covered pieces that dress a working desk, a blotter, a valet tray, a coaster and a document folder, warming a hard surface. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep leather desk accessories for the study; the wider group sits under luxury desk accessories.

    Which full-grain leather desk pieces should I pick?

    When choosing leather desk accessories, consider the colour and finish you prefer; other objects sit under decorative objects. Choose pieces whose colour, material and proportions work with the rest of the desk.

    How do leather desk accessories suit a home office?

    Leather desk accessories suit a home office by tying the desk together in one warm material, a blotter under the work with a matching tray and cup to each side, near a few luxury decorative objects. Keep to one hide colour so the desk reads calm and collected.

    How do I condition leather desk accessories?

    To condition leather desk accessories, dust them, wipe with a soft just-damp cloth, and work in a little hide conditioner now and then, keeping them out of direct sun and off hot radiators; a luxury vase nearby needs no such care. Blot spills at once rather than rubbing them in.
