1920’s Drop Arm Sofa
These were extremely popular in the early 1900’s, therefore, we see a lot of them. A sofa that can turn into a chaise long and an occasional bed. The arm has a substantial metal mechanism to ‘drop’ the arm.
The quality of build is extremely robust, I know this from experience as I have owned one for over twenty years. Mine has moved house at least three times and has lived in the lounge, hall, bedroom, holiday cottage and now sits in the kitchen. Kids have used it as a climbing frame and I sat on it last night – it’s in perfect condition. A 100-year-old sofa – Truly amazing.
Rich in Red – a Red Chesterfield Sofa

A Small Knole Sofa
This is quite a rare Knole Sofa – I’ve never seen one of this size and it is quite unique in that the styling is squared. Possibly a 1930’s bespoke made to order piece. Great to fit our modern homes with timeless elegance.

Tub Chairs – before and after
You see these chairs often. If the frame is good – and due to the structural shape they usually are – these are a great basis to make your own bespoke bedroom or occasional chair – I have one in my office.
Our customer decided on this lovely blue that really looks great.
Before on the left by the way 🙂
Victorian chaise lounge
Our customer purchased this Victorian chaise at auction and we collected it for her. On inspection, it had been reupholstered in the past but probably fifty years ago. So some restoration work was required to resume the chaise back to how it was when new.
Our customer had a vision of an art deco look fabric in black with white highlights. She selected the Linwood fabric with snow braid and we think it looks stunning.
G-Plan Chair
Really fashionable now and don’t take much to update and reupholster with a new fabric and foams to make as new.
G-Plan chair offers lasting quality and comfort as this lovely example.
Very clean lines and a fresh fabric choice by our customer.
Curved Arm Chesterfield Sofa
This Chesterfield sofa is unique in that the arms curve away, camel-backed and it has an additional detail curved upholstered rail at the front.
An exceptional example of a slightly new take on a classic.
