About

The Leathersellers' Company is 1 of the ancient Livery Companies of the City of London. It was founded by the Royal Charter in 1444 with authority to control the sale of leather within the City. The Company no longer has this regulatory role and instead devotes its energies to supporting charity, education and the British leather trade.
