H&M leather photo - aged or distressed?

[dwainw]

I'm looking for some comments on a couple of pictures I swiped from ebay. I know nothing about this chair beyond what the seller posted (Ended Item #330301821910). At first glance I assumed that this was an old worn out chair, but the seller uses phrases like 'luscious,' 'fantastic leather,' and 'almost new condition.'

So was this chair made to look like this (distressed), and really 'like new'?

Or if it is just worn, is this the result of poor maintenance? Is this the kind of patina one would expect from an unprotected aniline over the years? If my H&M piece starting looking like that, is there any hope of restoration?

I'm particularly looking at the green patches on the front of the arms near the top, and the dark/discolored patch near the top of the back cushion. Any thought would be appreciated.
