curriers
Hide treatment workers
Curriers are workers who finish tanned leather by softening, coloring, and treating it to make it supple and ready for use.
The trade of currying leather was historically distinct from tanning—tanners prepared raw hides, curriers refined them.
The term now appears mainly in historical contexts or as a surname.
