If you’re like me and you love blue, antiques, and high-quality work, you’ll love this oak chair. Just reupholstered and restored for a valued customer.
Oak Chair
Bedroom Chair
Upholstered in a Linwood Tweed Fabric this occasional chair, around 20 years old, is ideal as a bedroom chair with its medium-deep 10-button back detail, snub arms, and featured wooden legs. Despite its relatively young age, it carries the style essence of Georgian or early Victorian eras.
With its curvaceous design, including a front cushion that gently curves under your legs, wings, snub arms, and a beautifully curved back, this chair exudes timeless elegance. It’s well-proportioned, fitting snugly into smaller rooms, bay windows or kitchens, and makes for a delightful addition to any bedroom. We’re delighted to complete the upholstery job for our customers.

An in-progress chaise-long
We’ve noticed we haven’t shared many before-and-after photographs lately. Initially, we believed customers preferred seeing the finished product rather than the work in progress or the product on the bench. However, we’d like to showcase an example of our traditional craftsmanship. On the left, you can see the chaise lounge in progress, undergoing preparation for reupholstery; Hand-tied coil springs supported by the jute webbing underneath. Additionally, on the back, you can see the preparation for insulating the hand-pressed, hand-tied buttons. While on the right, you can admire the finished article.
