Blue velvet wing back

I restored this frame a few months back.
From re gluing the frame to a thin lining.
Original horse hair retained with new cotton.
The new owner supplied a dark blue velvet.
It took a lot of my 20 years home furnishings experience to get this tailored up sharply.
 Nice lines to the front legs.
 The owner asked for extra stuffings on the inside.
There was many hours tailoring up the inside with the smooth velvet fabric.
 The outsides backed and lined with a thin coat of cotton.
 The edges of the frame lines kept sharp to draw out all the lines as well as piping run along the frame edges.
 Clean intersections.
 What nice lines of the frame.


 Thanks for looking!
