ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Shagreen is a luxurious decorative material traditionally made from the skin of stingrays or sharks, prized for its distinctive granular texture and remarkable durability. First popularised in Europe during the 18th century, it became closely associated with fine craftsmanship and sophisticated interior design. During the Art Deco period, shagreen was widely used by leading designers to embellish boxes. Its subtle lustre and unique surface provide a striking contrast to polished materials, making it highly sought after for decorative objects where texture and visual interest are of equal importance.
