Oval Backed Chair

The chair on arrival.

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.

The two finished chairs.

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

Iron Back

The seat in original cover

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.
