Found on arrival, not caused
We cover all eight towns, from Salisbury, Sharon and Kent through Washington, Litchfield and Woodbury to New Milford and Torrington. Leather repair Litchfield County CT is booked on a planned route.
Leather is not harmed by cold. What tires it is the swing: cool and dry for five days, then warm air moving fast through the room on a Friday night.
Old hides take that worst. They are already dry, and the folds at the front of a seat and along the arms are where they let go first.
Because most people find the damage when they walk in rather than while using the piece, the useful first step is pictures taken that day, with one close-up of the worst fold.
Antique pieces are quoted conservatively. Where the honest answer is to feed and stabilise a hide rather than recolour it, that is what we say, and some pieces are better left as they are.
Town information for this part of the state is published by the Western Connecticut Council of Governments.

Litchfield County FAQ
Other Litchfield County pages:
Which Litchfield County towns do you cover?
All eight on this page, from Salisbury and Sharon to New Milford and Torrington.
Does leaving the house cold damage leather?
Cold alone does not. The swing between cool, dry air and fast warm-up is what dries and stiffens a hide.
Should I put a humidifier near an old chair?
Steady conditions help more than any single device. Keep pieces away from the direct blast of a heat source.
Is an antique worth restoring or should it be left?
Sometimes left. We say when feeding and stabilising is the better answer than recolouring.
How far out do you come?
All eight towns. Work in the hills is grouped onto a planned day.
