Hi -
I have two leather related issues, that I'm posting under different headings. Look forward to getting some advice on how to preserve and restore these leather pieces!
First, a relatively minor issue but one that is very important, is how to care for/restore my vintage leather sofa (not sure of the maker.) It is in great shape, but appears to be drying out in a few places, and also has a spot where the sun is lightening it up some (I've now covered it from the few hours a day when the sun hits it, and can just flip the cushion if it would mess with the leather to correct it.)
My top priorities are to: 1) keep the leather skins intact and in good condition, and 2) to preserve the beautiful patina of this fabulous vintage leather piece. I'm not looking for perfect, "new from the shop". Here are some pics. Mostly there are pics of the surface scratches and dry areas -- I have the other pics but can't upload any more.
I think it just needs some sort of a regular conditioner, but haven't been sure what type of conditioner to use, as it is a totally different feel than any leather I've owned (even my vintage designer handbags.)
