Corner Chair

Corner Chairs are rarely seen today, yet make perfect use of otherwise unused floor space.

This delightful example arrived with the original seat long gone.

So main challenge was working out what the it would have looked like!

With that solved, a new seat was created. Nice!

Oval Backed Chair

This project was a real joy to work on. The beautifully detailed frame was in great shape – but what was left of the upholstery was destined for the bin!

An old sack had been used as a spring cover – but what the contents had been was a mystery.

Once every last thread had been removed, a new seat and oval back pad were made and covered.

French Chairs

The chair with the collapsed rolled edge.

These two painted French Chairs needed some work as the seats were in a parlous condition!

Some of their history was uncovered with names – presumably written by children many years ago – found under the frame.

End result was the chairs both received two new seats, covered in a delightful fabric.

Edwardian Dining Chairs

This set of eight beautifully detailed Edwardian dining chairs with inlaid marquetry were to have new covers.

The seats looked good from above but it was a different story underneath and resetting the springing was necessary.

Cover added - fabric position set for all chairs

And as a set, the fabric needed to be placed so that all the chairs matched.

Winged Chair

This attractively shaped Winged Chair was definitely in need of a new cover. The thin and not very well shaped stuffings needed help!

To sort out the stuffings, the chair was stripped of everything except the seat.

With minor damage to the polish work repaired, the chair was remade and a new cover added.

Dining Chairs

These four elegant dining chairs needed new covers – but finished up having new seats.

The curiously unused sides to the base frame remains a puzzle but the new covers were added to make an elegant dining set.

Materials used were a mixture of traditional and new. To see the full story, click an image or follow this LINK.

Bedroom Ironback

Original chair - loose cover, no buttons.

This delightful chair with its very floppy back, held, as for so many projects, a host of surprises.

The chair had a loose cover, using an identical fabric to the fixed cover below – but with buttons.

Iron backs were very popular in Victorian times but while this chair was old, it was still much newer.

To restore the chair, the back and seat had to be separated, then rejoined. That’s unusual!

The end result, covered in a heavy, robust fabric, was quite a sight.

Iron Back

Iron Back chairs were popular in Victorian times. The back was made from bent iron bars – cheaper than wood at the time – making upholstering a challenge.

This lovely example needed a new seat and back castors as well as a new cover.

Regency Sofa

I felt very privileged when I was entrusted to restore this splendid Regency Sofa.

The beautiful 200 year old frame was revealed once the old fabric, stuffings and fixings were removed.

Winged Chair – A Restoration Project

This attractively shaped winged chair probably dating from around the middle of the last century when Parker Knoll, G-Plan and others started using the tension springs that support the seat of this chair.

While the chair and seat cushions needed new covers, the seat front was falling off, other joints needed repairing, springs needed reseating and the polish work was dulled – definitely a restoration project.
