Is the damage in the attached picture something that can be repaired or is it irreversible?

I think a good leather restorer would be able to pull that round without too much bother.

Indeed, I was almost tempted to say "what damage?". Leather should look "used but cared for" not pristine, except when brand new.

Thanks.

For clarity, the damage I'm referring to is the heavily-worn circular patch (hair products or abrasive scalp?) at the very top of the seat.

Ah, wasn't 100% sure if that was wear or a reflection. Should be easy to do; though maybe use a professional if you don't know what the cause was.

I had to check twice for the same reason. :)

That definitely looks like it's worth a go. :)
