Upholstery New Hampshire Style

This couple has some really nice lines and size.  There are a lot of smaller frame wing backs with shy wings.  These are a great example of a pair of wing backs with good size and lines.
 After pulling lots of layers of staples and tacks, and freshened up the exposed wood.  Time to plot and cut a nice soft cherry color fabric that has a width of 108 inch width that came from a custom fabric house in San Francisco.

 Fresh cotton really helps set this pair up for years to come.
 These double rolled arms sure take a lot of tailoring.
Same with the wings.
The fabric is soft & subtle but sure shows any tailoring flaw.
 Lots of angles to these sleek wings.  A common mistake made by upholsterers is to overstuff the frame which loses the lines made by the frame builder.


 Backed & lined outsides help keep ones living area quiet.

 Nice clean complex intersections.


 Wing backs.
The best daily chair designed hundreds of years ago & still #1.


Thanks for looking!
