My Red Chair

My chair
I bought this chair at a garage sale in the country for $5.00 the guy who sold it to me said that his grandmother owned it until she died at the ripe old age of 90. He claimed she had it for ever. The chair has seen better days and obviously they didn't know what they had. This is a heavy duty chair. When you sit you know you've landed on tera firma. There is no give at all and its as solid as a rock. I was thrilled by the find. However the chair is filthy and I bought some woollight upholstery cleaner and I did a few test spots. Its seems to take the color up and not much of the dirt. The chair was also faded in a few spots and I wondered what can be done with that also.
So I really need tips on how to clean this with out hurting it or removing any more of the color. I also would like some knowledge as to if I can re dye the fabric. Or if this is even and antique and if I should worry so much about the care.
Thanks for the help,
Lady in Red
P.S. don't let the photoshop work fool you it really is dirty.
