Bicast - Chocolate Brown Natuzzi Sofa, Loveseat, and Chair - needing revival

[Grubbsfamily]

We rescued this set off CL and want to revive and care for it properly.

Here are the issues that I can see


All pieces have a darkened color -pieces look black on the seating areas and arm rests, lack of suppleness on all high use areas. Generally dirty. Light scratches on fabric (where true color can be seen) shown in picture near where arm and back join




Picture #1 - Some of the issues listed are on the other pieces as well as the one piece it is listed under.

CHAIR

Picture #2 - Rough on arms to, and top of seat (owner said it was near a window)




Picture #3 - cracking on arm




Picture #4 Cut (has irregular edges like a tear, not like a slice) on seat back




LOVE SEAT - this piece is in the worst looking shape of the 3

Picture #5 - lint sticking







Will finish LOVE SEAT and show SOFA in next post
Thanks

Before we begin discussion how to solve the mentioned problems, we need to know the leather finish types.

From the first picture, it looks like “Aniline”, but I could be wrong, it may be a “Bicast” or a “Semi-Aniline”.

Will need more pictures to positively identify it.

Turn the cushion on the un-used side and see if we can positively identify the finish types.

Please have some overall view too.

The cushions are not detachable form the base. I hope these help...

Cheryl,

On the last picture, place a piece of wet cotton face pad and see if the color darkens after 5 minutes.
