West side furniture

This awesome living room chair was created in California about 50 years ago.  Structurally the frame and the stuffings are in great shape.  One of the front arms was loose at the base.  I tapped open the joint and glued and clamped it up for 36 hours.  After removing lots of old fabric, staples and tacks so to have clean lines for upholstering.
The fabric with a oriental theme imported from France.
 Here shows the outside arms and outside back horizontally matched backed and lined.
 
And the same with the inside back cushion and the inside back frame.
 And the inside arms and back match.
Some of the rolled under decorative tack work.


 Really nice carvings.
And the back cushion belly cut to marry with the seat cushion.
What great value upholstering is when its tailored up with a fabric of choice.

Thanks for looking!
