Parchment

Parchment is a noble material, both delicate and refined, with a place in luxury cabinetmaking for its soft, matte and subtle finish. Primarily used for veneering or surface coating, it lends furniture a discreet elegance inherited from the classical decorative arts.

Originally derived from specially treated animal skins, parchment is characterized by its smooth, slightly translucent texture and remarkable resistance when well cared for. Its natural patina evolves over time, adding a lively, authentic dimension to bespoke pieces.

In cabinetmaking, parchment is often used to cover drawers, doors, panels or tops, giving each piece of furniture a unique, refined look. Its warm, neutral hue makes it easy to combine with noble woods such as walnut, ebony or cherry, reinforcing the contrast between organic material and precious wood.

At Eben&Or, parchment is chosen for its aesthetic and sensory qualities. It embodies softness to the touch, visual lightness and sophisticated simplicity, underlining craftsmanship while highlighting the natural beauty of materials.

Using parchment in a project means opting for a subtle, timeless finish that enriches every piece of furniture with authentic soul and refined elegance.
