Orange Peel Chair

Orange Peel Chair Restoration and reupholstery.

The Orange Peel Chair was designed to capture the organic beauty of a falling orange peel. Its unique, curved design makes it a true statement piece, can look great in any home, and it’s surprisingly comfortable, it tilts back.

We’ve had the pleasure of restoring and reupholstering several iconic Orange Peel Chairs from across the UK. Reupholstering this chair is a unique challenge due to its unconventional design and curved cushion, but our master craftsman, Barry Griffiths, handles each with expert care and precision.

Recently, we completed one in supple Scottish hide, which the customer said looked even better than new. Another was transformed from vinyl to luxurious velvet, and our most recent Peel Chair was reupholstered in Linwood Moleskin fabric—all stunning results that always catch the eye of passing customers.

Designer chairs like these, when restored, can be worth thousands of pounds. They not only retain their value but also become conversation pieces and comfortable chairs built to last a lifetime.

‘We received the chair and I have to say you did a wonderful job. It’s better than the photos. My husband was shocked at how good the chair looks’ – Thank you.
We offer national delivery for all completed reupholstered items. Before shipping, we photograph each item, carefully wrap and pack them, and prepare them for dispatch. You can choose your preferred delivery company, or we can recommend one we use regularly. If you’d like, we can send you a link to book the collection directly.

Tub Chairs for a Portuguese villa

A set of tub chairs reupholstered with a thicker back padding. The extra back padding was added to give a more luxurious look and feel. These are now absolute bespoke chairs and they are lovely to look at and sit in.Blue is the original chair.

I imagine my self with a cold cocktail sitting in one of these chairs.

Wool Fireside Chair

Although I’d say this is a more winter type chair it will sit cool in your home. Wool is cool in the heat and warm in the winter. Also, isn’t it a good idea to get all your reupholstery done now, in the summer, while we are traditionally quieter, it’s easier to move furniture around too – fewer draughts and muddy feet.

1930’s Oak Rocking Chair

We are delighted to restore this sprung rocking chair.

Our customer loved the chair but it was past its best. To buy a new chair or restore the old was the question. It fits nicely in the conservatory, the customer liked the style so she decided to instruct us to restore the wood back to its original colour, re-web (under seat springing) and reupholster with all new foam padding.

The result is a fine quality bespoke restored chair.

We used Ross fabric as selected and think it works really well.

Note the all new webbing and fabric under cushion sleeve as it was originally.
