This well built Carver with Leather covered seat needed a new cover and a better padded seat.
It appears to have been moved or stored by Archer, Cowley & Co., Ltd. The link gives more information about the company that continued to operate until the 1980s but the label condition tells us they had this chair much earlier.
The seat pad was lifted out of the seat. It was turned over and the undercover removed to expose green webbing.
The pad was turned over again and the cover lifted off.
Below this were layers of old padding, then a support cloth sitting on the green webbing.
Everything was removed, leaving a clean frame.
New webbing was added, providing a firm flat base.
The webbing was covered with support hessian.
New padding of rubberised horse hair and felt was added.
Barrier cloth covered and shaped the padding before the new leather cover was added.
A new undercover was tacked on to complete the project.
The frame, showing many years of use, was given a polish and the new pad dropped into place.
