• This chaise was in good condition, but the owners thought the fabric looked tired and boring. They chose boldly and decided on a velvet with a tiger pattern, designed by Emma Shipley for Clarke and Clarke fabrics. It certainly transformed the chaise into a statement piece!

This deep-buttoned nursing chair was in need of a recover. The customer choose a warm pink wool, which gives the chair a much softer look. The seat and back also have an extra layer of polyester to make it more comfortable and slightly fuller.

A customer commissioned this Parker Knoll armchair to be upholstered in a tartan from Abraham Moon and sons. They choose a bold pattern of warm autumn colours. Pattern matching was a challenge, but very satisfying!

Small antique sofa

Antique sofa in need of re-upholstery

A beautifully carved antique sofa was in need of some careful attention. The customer choose a lovely vibrant green wool from Isle Mill fabric, which contrast well with the wood. The traditional seat was repaired with new webbing, hessian, new edge roll and extra wool wadding. The back and arms also had a repair and new skin wadding. After a good clean up of the wood, the sofa is looking in great shape again!
