Patrick Chenault Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Does anyone know if tooled leather was popular or if it even existed in the GAoP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've not seen much evidence for it (or really against it)... the one item that comes to mind is a French 1690s Grenadier's shoulder bag. Most of the other period leather items remaining or period depictions from art seem to lack any tooling.... so i have avoided tooling for my portrayals.

Red John Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 You mean paisley-tooled leather baldrics are a no-go? but but but . . . ok, fine, as long as I can keep the yak femur in my dreads . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have seen some tooling, but it tends towards minimalist borders and blind tooling. Most of these are on leather bindings for books, but I've seen some on the flaps of hunting bags and other forms of leather bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Chenault Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 I was curious because i know tooling has been around for ages (i know the last part of my question was pointless now that i think about it) thanks for the insight -patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
