Shagreen is the stingray skin. Given its rarity and unique texture, it has been applied to give luxurious finish to intricate high-end decorative items. First used to make sword hilts and armour by the Japanese Samurai and the Turks in the Middle Ages, shagreen got its big break in the mid 18th century when it was popularised by Madame De Pompadour, a renowned patron of the arts and mistress to King Louis XIV.

Parchment is an exotic material usually made from calf skin, sheep skin or goat skin, used since the 2nd century B.C. Traditionally, parchment was used as a writing material for manuscripts before paper was invented. Later, it became a popular material for covering pieces of art and furniture amongst Art Deco designers, especially Jean Michel Frank, who often used it in his work. It remains a unique hide which lends a nod to deco vocabulary in modern designs.
