Our customer selected the combination of carved and plain high-quality velore to create a stunning one-off showpiece that you can sit on and look at to enjoy. And of course, if you were to order a new version of this quality the total investment will be about double.
Just amazing!
Very clean lines and a fresh fabric choice by our customer.
We make lose covers for all types of furniture. Here is an example of a custom made loose cover made for a high back Kingston chair – it’s leather underneath.
Doctors’ office seating for surgery in Darlington.
Looks bright and clean in a sea foam blue.
A Historic chair with a story. Originally a retirement gift to an Oxford Professor in 1930s and discovered by our customer in a cottage attic in Leyburn, North Yorkshire.
Our customer provided the in-keeping fabric and it looks rather amazing.
If only it could talk 🙂
Fast service at competitive rates.
Here are a few commercial jobs we have completed – doctors surgery seating, Pub, Bar Restaurant and Hotel and kitchen diner.
Drivers seat at the top – is that the correct expression?? – Captain maybe 🙂 And a bench seat for the passengers.
Above is a caravan set. The set was bespoke made to fit the caravan but was free standing (not fixed). Our customer wanted the chair to be boosted with a new medium/firm foam cushion and we heavily wrapped the foam cushion in a fibre Dacron to produce a soft touch but firm comfortable feel.
The whole set was removed and reupholstered in a modern stain resistant high-quality upholstery grade fabric. It looks smart and modern and will withstand the holiday caravan use for many years.
Nothing wrong with the ‘old style red vinyl seating’ but this is rather refreshing – our customer had an upmarket vision for her pub and it looks lovely – who’d want to go home!
Very special!
Our customer chose the distinctive pheasant fabric that I think really changes the look to a modern classic.
A clever combination!
The hurdle often can be the price. It costs more to reupholster say a Next Interiors or Laura Ashley chair than it does to buy a new one. The great thing about the likes of Next Interiors or Laura Ashley is that they are ‘on-trend’ and the fabrics used are very lovely to look at. The negative is that they are made to a price and probably mass produced in China or India – nothing wrong with that as it gives us a great deal – but they are made to a price and engineered to last just a few years with average use.
For value for money and a piece of furniture that will last much longer your better off buying an older quality chair and investing in a restoration of your design.
Here is an example of a fairly standard traditional wingback chair restored and updated with an ‘on-trend’ fabric. Costs a bit more, take a little more time to instigate but made to your style using British craftsmen and quality fabrics. There is no other like it!
Ready to serve and look stylish in any home for another 100 years
We restore antique furniture as originally built using tie-in coil springs and modernised wadding with rubberised ‘horse hair’. So the result is a classic handmade piece of historic furniture you can use every day and will last far longer than a modern version. I’m in love!
