1930s Chair

The strong shape and sturdy lines of this chair made me fall in love with it. Our customer chose a beautiful Linwood houndstooth fabric with a gentle stone and lichen colourway. The build quality of this era of furniture manufacturer is impeccable – again, sturdy and strong quality. The equivalent, if you could buy one new, would be over £5000. And it’s great to restore rather than make new – a delight. Matching sofa below.

Office Chair For Home Study

Rather clever what our customer did with this office chair for her study.

Instead of the typical plain or blue (boring) fabric, she selected this high-quality deco style fabric to create a more soothing to look at and stylish office study chair.

We also reupholstered a matching chest footstool.

Now a matching pair of bespoke pieces for a study. Perfect.

Traditional Reupholstery

To keep antique furniture original we follow the old techniques.

Classic Furniture

Classic Furniture – The sofa in these photos has been reupholstered by us twice in the last 20 years – still going strong and is truly a Classic.

Our customer sourced and provided the fabric and designed the arm covers with tassels and detail of the matching rope. A wonderfu selection.

1930’s Fluted Back sofa

We often talk here about the value of buying older quality furniture and restoring it to your style and taste.

This 1930’s Fluted back sofa is a perfect example. With a matching pair of chairs.

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!

Historic Chair

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 🙂
