Tradition With A Garden Flair

This is a great example of a pair of chairs that has stood the test of time, 12 years of everyday use. Originally tailored up with quality upholstery grade fabric. With quality stuffings there was no restoration work to do. 

After removing lots of staples to get the frames clean, Time to hand sew the decking and nosing into the spring front bases.
A thin coat of cotton helps everything Tailor up Nice and clean.

With the old fabrics stripped I added a touch of cotton on the top of the arms to keep the lines crisp.
The design of these club chairs has the arm front templates very proud. I added some small nosing to help improve the tailoring.
The outside arms and backs are lined and set with a thin coat of cotton.


This pair deserves an extra good quality dust cover.

Nice clean intersections.
Mirror tailored arm fronts, left and right.



And again mirror cut Seat cushions and nosings.

Look carefully below and you can see the mirror cut surged arm covers.

Pairs of chairs are so nice.
And this couple is ready to serve.
