How to preserve an artifact

A natural beeswax would work on wood (it's also used as a polish on antique furniture).

For leather Pecard’s or a similar preservative. I'd stay away from any sort of leather cleaner as it might be mildly abrasive.

I have a pair of 40+year old Belstaff MC boots that are like new thanks to this product . I use it on all my old dried out leather scabbards ; it actually makes the leather stronger .
