Vintage Daines and Hathaway leather desk blotter

This elegant leather desk blotter is difficult to date but I would suggest it would have been produced in the 1980s or even 1990s. Daines and Hathaway are a luxury leather goods brand. It was established in 1922, Daines and Hathaway  and describes itself as "the quintessential English leather goods brand for men" (though surely, women also use these leather products). Its heritage products are still handmade in its own workshop in Somerset, which they describe as "traditional manufacturing for a modern world". They no longer make desk blotters and good quality ones are now very hard to find. I really like to have paper on hand even though so much is now done digitally. This would be a fantastic addition to your desk or a great gift. There is some very minor wear to the leather, which is shown using magnification in the photographs.
