Before and After: Antique Chair Upholstery Projects

Before & After

Antique Suite Reupholstery

Our client had finished their home restoration and wanted to bring their soft furnishings up to scratch! The wood was striped and then painted black, and then the pieces were reupholstered in a Style Library fabric with all new foam and deep buttoned backs.

Deep Buttoned Coral Wingback Chair

We reupholstered this wingback chair when we featured on the BBC One TV service ‘Flipping Profit’. We stripped the chair back to it’s frame and sanded and repainted the legs. The new foam was added and we reupholstered the wingback with two Osborne & Little fabrics to give it a new lease of life! Studs were also added to highlight the chair’s beautiful shape.

Restoration of an Antique Swan Tub Chair

This antique Swan Tub chair was treated with our wood restoration and chair upholstery service. We meticulously stripped back, sanded and erased several layers paint to reveal the beautiful wooden frame of the chair. The wood was then dyed and varnished per the clients chosen colour. The chair was then webbed, sprung and a foam layer was added using modern upholstery techniques as per the clients request. It was covered in a Covertex fabric with double piping to finish it off.
