American Made Wingback

American made wing back.

 There isn't much American made upholstered furniture anymore. A great amount of the furniture frames are milled in machine milling shops overseas. Sent to america as parts, and final assembly of the frame in the states.  The sewn cushions are ordered to size and style, cut and stitched overseas as well.  There is lots of effort to make upholstered furniture disposable.

 What  classic American made furniture this wingback is.

                                              Fabric chosen from my same day ship in house books.
                                     A new 4 inch cushion with polywrap, replaced the older one.

                  I ordered  6 and three quarters yards. there was really no waste, as shown below.

                                                         Nice clean thin lines. Natural stuffings.

                                                                Custom set arm fronts.

                                               Clean piping as it ties in with the wooden leg.

Lots of tailoring on the inside of this wingback! The fabric pieces cut and stitched. Stuffings refreshed ready to be tailored up.

                                  The inside arms and inside wings sewn together then attached.

Thanks For Looking!

New years wing back

Here we got a well made wing back The frame and stuffings went through 30 years of use held up 5 stars.

 Alittle extra padding on the arm tops.Folks push with the palm of their hand each time exiting a chair. 

This owner must be left handed.

 The inside working up well.

 A fresh thin coat of cotton for the inside back.

 And the outside wings backed and lined.

Always aware of the curved lines, that they remain crisp and thin.

 Numbers created for patterning of fabric with no waste.

To create the "heart" of the fabric throughout the chair.

                                                                Clean sharp accented corners.

"Wing back" Chairs originally developed to keep cold breezes away from head and neck. (So they say) 

Thanks for looking!
