1950's living room chair

World war 2 was recently ended when this chair was probably created.

The frame joints have all loosened up.

Come to find out there was very little glue used in the joints upon the chair frame assembly.

All the old burlap and tacks removed, upon many other upholstery to release every joint in this chair.

The upper base was rebuilt sometime since the 50's and was well done.

 The corner support blocks are large and very supportive to the hardwood frame base.

 Here shows the base glued and clamped up.

 The glue shown is the best on the market today. imho

 New webbing and springs set.

 Restor-a-finish really cleans up the exposed wooden legs.

 While leaving all the patina.

 The top of the arms with the horse hair flattened out on top.

I carefully added more and re tailored the horse hair to freshen up the arm tops.

 And the old upholstery arm fabric and cotton removed, with a fresh coat of natural cotton applied.

The front of the arms with hand sewn tops.

 I have seen very few feather and down back cushions.

Nice!

 The 6 compartments needed some fresh feathers and down.

 And the outside arms backed and lined with a thin coat of cotton.

 The hand tied springs in the inside back were in nice shape.

A application of traditional webbing will ensure its behavior for many years to come.

 The outside back with a thin coat of cotton on top of a burlap lining.

 The seat cushion is in really nice shape.

I added quite a bit more feathers and down to give the cushion a nice full feel.

Thanks for looking!
