Map wing back


Here I have a small wing back, all tacks removed, exposed wood freshened up. Sure has some age to this piece.


    This tag attached in 1959 the last time it was upholstered in Manhatten. I sewed the tag to the bottom of the frame.

                                          The down seat cushion needed a little more feathers.
    This is a picture of the deep fitted arm covers. I f you look real carefull at the"G" at the bottom of the pic you can seperate the arm cover from the arm. The edge runs vertical up from the "G" to the "T" in antartica.
   The finished piece. This chair resides in a very old farmstead in New Ipswich NH. That is no place for new furnishings.



As time rolls on this piece will be still standing when most all corporate newly designed furniture will be in a landfill.
