Reupholster and Restoration – Detail of the quality of work

Here are two occasional chairs we restored and reupholstered.

I’ve added nice close-up photographs to show the detailed quality of our work.

I am often asked ‘what will it look like when it comes back’.  Our reupholstery service is not a second option to buying new. When we restore a chair or sofa etc we re-manufacture to the highest standard.  In some cases actually better than the original mass produced furniture or as close as we can when restoring ancient and antique furniture.  For example, we will use tacks and horse hair to match ancient reupholstery work.

Chair in Linwood Tweed

A Restored Circa 1972 Bridgecraft suite

Bridgecraft suite bought in 1972 rarely used only on special occasions. Fully refurbished in beautiful Linwood fabric. A complete transformation from the original dralon with ruching. We now have this modern woven fabric with simple piping and no fringe.

Sofa in Linwood Tweed

The 2 fireside chairs were fully restored in Linwood woolen tartan fabulous compliment to the suite.

And a lovely touch child’s rocking chair long in the family covered in the tartan. Very cute and perfect for the new arrival when she grows into it.

Very happy customers ??

Loose Covers for sofa

Loose Coves made for a Sofa

Our customer requested loose covers for her sofa. The requirements were: very simple covers, no piping, and no skirt. Below are the results, I think this style works well with the simple yet chic fabric choice and the pleasing lines of the sofa.

Looks rather ‘French chic’ I think.

Tub chairs - befor and after

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 🙂

1930's Fluted back chairs

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!

Chaise - black with white

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.

Boat seat - bench

Drivers seat at the top – is that the correct expression?? – Captain maybe 🙂 And a bench seat for the passengers.

Caravan Chair
Caravan Sofa

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.
