A Happy Couple

Here is a great pair of wing backs probably created 40 years ago in the early 1970's.

The pic below shows the frames with all the staples removed from oak frames.

Thats some hard wood. 

 I noticed a broken leg and weak crossbar joint.

Shown reglued.

                               Here is the hand sewn nosing and decking with the stuffings reset.

                                        Fresh cotton on the arms as the old fabric was removed.

                                   Here the inside tailored up and the outside arms and wings backed.

                                                   Fresh thin coat of cotton over the lining.
                                                   I keep in mind not to overstuff furniture.

And the outside back lined and a thin coat of natural cotton.

                                                      Time for new quality foam cushion.
  I used 3 inch foam so not to overstuff this traditional furniture. With a nice glued on polywrap to give the cushion a nice look.

                         With the frames completed and should be good to go for another 40 years!

                                     The damask centered throughout with all tailoring matches exact throughout the pair of chairs.

Thanks for looking!
