there is a hole in the arm of our leather chair which looks as if caused by a sharp instrument ie a knife,can this be repaired

yes, a weld repair can be done, a strong fabric type patch is bonded to the underside of the hole, then flexible filler is added and built up to fully seal the hole, setting with a hot iron, it is then re grained to match the original, the leather colour is mixed and applied,once dried a sealant is applied to keep the colour from wearing. this can be done in your room,within the hour.
