Look down to see a ‘before’ photo. We totally stripped, restored the inner springing, webbing and checked the frame, re-padded and reupholstered. The wood was cleaned, re-polished and in keeping castors fitted.
Before
Bird of paradise cotton print fabric provided by our customer.
We made a looses cover for the body and cushions for this beautifully dimensioned large sofa.
The sofa design is a country house oversized sofa with a rolling soft back and arms. Our customer provided the print fabric from Linwood Fabrics. This is a lovely Country House sofa to keep forever.
A pair of rather nice club chairs we reupholstered.
Reupholstered in quality Scottish leather.
I adore this very strong-designed chair. Our customer selected genuine leather to replace the original leather and I think it was a good choice. We only use high-quality leather hides and it shows really well on this chair. It will last for another 100 years I am quite certain.
This wing chair, a fireside wing-back chair, is a turn of the century classic. The inside back panel you can see is a coordinating pattern fabric. The fabric is the original fabric of the chair our customer wanted to retain as it is a reminder of her late husband who loved the chair.
Linwood omega velvet fabric is what we chose to compliment the original fabric. The customer is delighted with the result and so are we – it looks just lovely.
Two examples of chairs we reupholstered last week.

Well, it’s not really. This is the first Kingston chair (on the left) we reupholstered as part of a group of six. The one on the right is, of course, one of the chairs before we *reupholstered it and on the left is the freshly reupholstered Kingston chair. We hope you like this strong demonstration of what we produce. It’s not often we get the chance to show a ‘before and after’ photograph.
*When we reupholstery an item of furniture we don’t always explain that the internals is also fixed, strengthened, re-foamed, wrapped, and re-sprung as required before we reupholster.

This is an impressive chair in a Louis style with carved wood detail. The fabric is Aquaclean moleskin with a coordinating braid. The tightly stretched fabric produces this lovely smooth curved seat arms and back. Delivered to our customers home in Darlington.
This very pretty and delicate chair was stored by the customer for years in the garage with the intention to have it restored in the future. Our customer decided to have it reupholstered when she moved house (So we collected it from one address and delivered it to another).
It is a Victorian chair; we cleaned and waxed the wood, restored the internals and reupholstered it in the customer’s own fabric. Learn more about reupholstery fabrics
Look at the beautiful curve at the top of the back, the pleated arm fronts and the delicate braid edging – just lovely style and quality design.
1960’s retro sofa with two matching chairs. Upholstered in a blue Wemyss fabric. All the wood was stripped back and waxed. More fabrics to browse on our fabrics page. Our customer bought the sofa and chair set some years ago second hand. Stored it for a long time, then decided to have it restored and reupholstered. We are glad to see a historic design icon saved to serve for many years in the future. A side note: If you look for a new equivalent to this style of sofa and of this bespoke quality you will need some thousands of pounds. This is a restored original.
Thank you to our customer to allow a few photos at delivery – they look stunning. Now living in the West End of Darlington.
It’s all in the detail. The details on these exquisite dining chairs are lovely. Deep buttoned seats with a braided edge. The fabric is a Linwood cotton print, see our fabrics page.

Founded in High Wycombe in 1898 by Ebeneezer Gomme.
A classicly shaped small turn of century armchair. Fully restored and upholstered in Linwood Omega patterned velvet. Selected by our client now safely delivered to their home in Darlington.
I have seen a number of this style of chairs in auction houses recently. They are usually in extremely bad condition, particularly the frame and springs. This example was in good order when we first started the restoration.
Bent out of shape, creaky, broken frames with popping-out springs etc can be restored – but best buy a structurally sturdy version. Cost at an auction is at an amazingly low price currently, £200- 500 each. Restored, an equivalent value will be in the region of £2000 – 5000 each. And totally unique.
An occasional chair reupholstered in floral linen. Also can be described as a bedroom chair. Reupholstered in Customers own fabric. Wrapped and ready for delivery to its Darlington home.
