Here is a chair with a love seat that stayed home. The set is probably close to 50 years old. From fabric choice considerations to redesigning the cushions to solve a design flaw.
10 cushions tailored up ready to go.
What a great little side chair. Probably made in the early 1950's. Does your living room seem cramped? it may be the overstuffed modern corporate furniture is to blame. Look at the size of this chair. what a nice set.
Here it is stripped down and tied the coil springs.
Original hay stuffings dusted out and hand set in place with coats of cotton batting applied. With 1 inch nosing nailed to the front. Natural stuffings sure are best. To rebuild this chair in modern stuffings sure wouldn't be doing this piece any favors.
And here is the finished piece. Outsides backed and lined with a thin coat of cotton with all the wood freshened up.
One great loveseat
This love seat probably produced in the 1960's is sure one quality piece of furniture. Hardwood frame, hand tied coil springs with full down cushions inside a very deep inside depth. And huge cushions.
Here is the frame re upholstered with restoration repairs done to the base. The fabric has a large stretch to it. It tailored up nicely, takes plenty of experience to sew and set loose strechy fabric satisfactorily.
The down seat cushions where a little weak with the down so down was added to freshen up the seat cushions. With Full fitted arm covers "surged".
Here is the skirt cut, sewn, pleated and steam tailored . ready for the frame.
The piece originally didn't have a skirt. This wood nailer curved cut was added to both outside arms so the attachment of the skirt will go smoothly.
Here is a closeup of the back side of the skirt. Surged.
So many folks now a days leave their homes in search of great furniture when the best is right their at home.
