...and what about maintenance for a leather floor? I came across one the
other day. The flooring was installed in a 1920s colonial revival home as
part of a high-end 1960s Modern style interior renovation. The leather is
3/8" thick sole leather, in 3"x9" "tiles" (the owner managed a shoe
factory), and is in good condition with the "top grain" still mostly intact.
The past maintenance routine for the flooring is unknown (probably a lot of
loving care from the owner who obviously knew his leathers and loved his
floors). Dispite knowing a little about leather (apprenticed to an old-time
harnessmaker for a year and a half when I was a kid in Nebraska) I'm at a
loss to make a solid recommendation for the maintenance of leather flooring.
Are there any standards or experiences out there?
