hello-
i purchased this french (english? it depends on where you look) leather club chair awhile back and would like to restore it. after researching similar makes and models on this website:

it seems like it has a bright and lustrous future if i apply the right products and dispense some elbow grease!

here is mine: (also at this address- http://imgur.com/a/VjU1s )

it was very dry and had dry rot at the time of my acquisition. 5 months ago i applied some leather honey and fiebings "tan kote with resolene," to it... this gave it a luster which i presume sealed the pores and may well need to be removed. the chair has almost very literal anatomical markings that reveal its primary user (who was oily and listed/leaned to the right).

i welcome your suggestions for restoration and improvements- this chair seems able to last another 50 yrs in the right environment, and only has a very dank/musty/moldy smell going against it. (that's another forum, i suspect?)

Thanks!
