Sorry to take so long with a reply, from what I've seen of it, oil cured leather can be smooth, rough or grainy on one side depending on the surface preparation(grain side) and rough on the other(flesh side), it also depends on the type of skin....
you may find a new book "Leather Tanneries" useful, it can be found here:

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
