Re: Is this leather salvageable? Is it even leather?
You can't 'rejuvenate' or 'restore' leather, once the damage is done - its done. What you can do, however, is start a regular schedule of cleaning and conditioning the hide and then it may slow the degradation and hopefully it won't split then. Option 2 is to call in a leather repair pro and he can fill the cracks and paint them, but that's going to cost probably more than you want to invest in the chair.
