Life was much simpler when this recliner was created.
It's probably been 40 years since any maintenance was done on this recliner.
The glue has deteriorated on this hardwood frame loosening all the joints.
The corner blocks were made of pine and were put in with ring nails.
With the frame needing quite a bit of attention I had a wood worker glue this one back up and clean up the finished wood and new support corner blocks.
I steamed up the foam in the cushions to bring them back to original shape and a fresh coat of poly wrap glued on.
This fabric is the new-old. It looks contemporary but is accually hundreds of years old.
As seen in European and middle east windows.
Moorish window design.
Stocked in house in my fabric library.
Below shows the belting centered on both cushions.
And the coil springs hand tied.
The frame came back from the woodworker looking really nice.
Was a joy freshening up this chair.
Thanks for looking!
