>>> This chair has a lot of rivets. I have a question as to easy method of protecting rivets from dye.
Apply Protector-B or B+ using a cotton swab neatly over the rivets or studs for later easy clean up with a damp horsehair Brush-1 or a damp terry towel.

>>> The dye is Micro-54
From close-up pictures this leather is most likely Aniline a transparent dyestuff.
Choice would be Aniline-76 (transparent) first, Antique-27 (translucent) second and Micro-54 (opaque) third in terms of value but also has its degrees of difficulties to match in. Micro-54 has a lower degree of application difficulty, as “what you see is what you get” but ends up without the beauty of depth when compared with Anilne-76.
Leather can be refinished in a progressive sequence as described above from transparency to opacity but not in reverse.
