Dear Ms. Langfald,
 
I had a similar problem finding leather conservators to assist us in preparing leather furniture and books for exhibition at the McFaddin-Ward House.
 
I would be happy to send to you guidelines to do it yourself that I prepared for the TAM Annual Conference's Conservation Roundtable.
 
Anne Battram and Nancy Rosebrock of the Biltmore Mansion in Asheville, NC were generous in their guidance, which enabled us to develop a "recipe" for conserving leather chairs and making them presentable for the McFaddin-Ward House's third floor restoration.
 
I will email it to you.
 
Good luck.

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a good leather conservator? We are having an "issue" with our saddle collection and are trying to find a conservator to give us some advice and possibly work on our saddles.

Feel free to respond on or off list.

Thanks for the help.
