I use Jubliee by SC Johnson on all my leather and wood antiques. It is a cleaner and protectorant, does not harm the surfaces or change the value. You can find it at the drug stores and smaller hardware stores like TruValue and Ace

If it's really an antique, value can be greatly reduced by improper cleaning. Collectors view natural wear and patina as indisputable proof of an object's pedigree. Bring it to a local dealer that does cleaning and restoration. Depending on the value of the piece, and cleaning recommendations, you may wish to let a pro handle it.

I would suggest using Murphy's Oil soap, with minimal amounts of water. This should maintain its suppleness and keep it from cracking, while keeping it clean.
Either that or saddle soap, which is specially designed for leather.
