Edwardian Dining Chairs

Carver with original cover

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.

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.

The chair back.

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.

Regency Sofa

The sofa as it arrived

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

The bare sofa frame

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

Leather Carver Chair

Seat on arrival

The majority of upholstery projects have a fabric cover. For this solidly built Carver Chair, a replacement leather cover over new padding was wanted.

Making a new pad for a dining chair insert, although it has quite a lot of steps, is one of the simpler tasks an upholsterer will be presented with – and so it proved.

The completed seat

Starting point was a sunken and unyielding seat. End result was a softly rounded pad, comfortable to sit on.
