Animal welfare and exploitation is something Present Past takes very seriously. While animal hides and skins have been used for many thousands of years, the use of real animal fur today is controversial in comparison to the leather industry. We believe that when animals are killed for meat or as population control, as much of the animal should be used as possible. As such, we are always on the look-out for improving the sustainability and ethics of our animal product supply chain.
This is why each of the pelts we supply is derived from Roe Deer or Central European Boar that have been culled as part of wider population management initiatives or from those that have been involved in accidental traffic collisions, and have been collected for use of their fur. As such, these hides may have small repaired holes in the hide, but these are not visible from the fur side and do not in any way diminish the use of these quality pelts. Overall, this results in high quality hides from as ethical a source as possible. Each hide has been cleaned and tanned to a high standard.
These are perfect for use as a throw, giving a fantastic feeling of warmth and depth to chairs and beds, or even walls. They are also excellent for crafting purposes, such as adding a decorative trim to clothing.
The Roe Deer pelts measure between 25"-30" in length and 5-7 square feet in total area.
Current price £40 each
The main body of the Boar skins measure between 40"-43" (100-110cm) in length and 6-7 square feet in total area.
