Shagreen is the name given to shark, stingray or dog fish skin that has been used as a decorative material for centuries. However, its earliest use was far more practical. In its raw state, shagreen has a hard rough textured finish. As far back as the 12th century, the Japanese used it for grating wasabi root into a paste!
Once the surface of the shagreen has been ground smooth, a very attractive material is created. In Europe, as early as the 17th century, it was being used in the production of decorative items, and furniture.
