Hey Everyone,
I hope that one of you guys are able to help me out. My wife, 1 year old girl, and myself have been living around my parents' apartment while our home is being renovated.
My father has a desk with green leather and gold gilding bound to the top:
1379
Unfortunately, and I don't know what caused it (it could be baby milk, water, tea, ...?) this happened:
1380
When I look closely it looks as if there is some kind of wax or varnish that has been removed by the drops of whatever liquid it was - the colour of the blotches is lighter and seems to match cracks in the leather:
1381
I guess my question is - is this something that I can easily/cheaply resolve myself? Would I need to get a professional in? Is it even fixable?!?! (I sure hope so!)
I've got a little time - he's not back in the country for a few more months - but I would love to get it sorted out without him ever knowing ;)
Thanks in advance everyone!
Clumsy Dad.
