Advice for cleaning or protecting products for Hancock & Moore chairs
Hello, I've been reading here for a few years. First time posting. I have a pair of Hancock and Moore club chairs that were new in 2010. My maintenance schedule has been less than perfect, and I need to improve on that! They're in a seldom used living room with one west & one north facing window, and cellular blinds that are closed 98% of the time, plus total shade on the west side, and a fair to large amount of shade on the north side 3/4 of the year.
It is aniline leather; color is tobacco (I believe). I seemed to have misplaced the original tags & paperwork with the name and style #, so I will try to attach pictures.
How do I tell if the leather has been burnished?
I would like to know the best product(s) & methods for cleaning & protecting. Will consider a high quality film for the windows in that room, if necessary.
Thank you for your help & expertise!Attachment 15345Attachment 15346Attachment 15347

It's definitely not a burnished leather, it appears to be a Finished Leather from what I can see of the photo (tags are no help for the hide, this was before they started using serial numbers). Kit # 1 that we sell will do the job.

The tag with the Hancock & Moore insignia is attached to the seat under each cushion.
So even though it says:
"Leather: Natural Resistance (Unprotected)
This item is covered with a naturally soft leather, colored with
transparent dyes, that will absorb spills. This leather is noted
for its natural markings, has no protective finish and should be
appreciated for its natural beauty and luxurious touch.
This is not accurate?
Each chair also has a 6 x 6 leather sample attached.
Would it be better if I mailed one of those to you to know for sure what type of leather it is?

If you have a pure aniline, then kit #2

Not sure if you saw it, Duane, but the first tag photo says leather: Natural Resistance (unprotected)
