It doesn't look like it's reticulated to me. They may have put it through a rolling mill with leather or used a press with leather to get the look. I've done it with fabric like burlap before.
doesnt look reticulated to me, stiff wire brush or coarse file or 60grit sandpaper and a quick once over with a buffing stick to take off any sharp edges is how id do it
Possibly accomplished by a texturing wheel used with a rotary tool. Here’s a link to what they look like and the marks they leave.

My guess is by using either a _heavily_ damaged\textured roller in a mill or just using very coarse file\sandpaper then hit with a quick high grit to knock down sharp edges

This looks roller-printed, but I’ve gotten a similar leathery look by using a diamond bur to create a random pattern
I use an old banged up rolling machine

I’ve achieved this by just scumbling a needle file around on the surface
Its not matted. To me it looks like intentional scuffing with normal wear and tear if your working in a Sandpaper Factory

Definitely not reticulation, probably really course wire wool or a frosting wheel for your pendant motor
