Leather Bonded Furniture and Home Accessories
A leather craftsman for nearly 36 years, Chris Chapman has spent much of her career involved in historical research and reproduction work dating back to 16th century European leatherwork clothing and artifacts. In the early 70's she created museum quality reproductions of Native American and Early American garments and artifacts, including bead and quill work. After the birth of her daughter in 1991, Chapman decided to focus her collective talents on the creation of leather bonded furniture and home accessories.
From enormous armoires and tables to mirrors, custom cabinetry and bars, Chapman's work brings a fresh perspective to the medium, which she finds incredibly versatile in that it can adapt to nearly any time period, style and design from Vistorian, Western and Spanish Territorial, to Old English and Art Deco.
Chris lives in the Colorado Rocky Mountains with her daughter, a cat, dog, rabbit and her two horses, Bob and Cowboy.
