DEF

A morocco leather that has had its grain surface crushed to the extent that it is smooth.

CONT

176 - Otto Dorfner ... Blue crushed morocco (110x182mm).

OBS

Crushing of this nature is done before the leather is attached to the book. The characteristic high polish is applied subsequent to binding. Although a certain effect is attained by this process, to a great extent it defeats the original purpose of using morocco leather, i.e., its beautiful grain pattern.

French

  • Industrie du cuir

176 - Otto Dorfner : Maroquin écrasé bleu [...] Collection particulière. Une reliure due à Otto Dorfner, grand doreur allemand, dont on peut admirer ici un travail de dorure classique à motifs en losange impeccablement réalisé.
