This nice setting arm chair needs restoring.
The chair seems to be of Danish design.
Here is the chair with all the upholstery and staples removed.
All the frame joints were loose but two.
Below shows the frame glued up and clamped.
After drying for 24 hours the exposed wood gets a nice coat of restor-a-finish.
New traditional webbing. soft set.
All the horse hait and straw dusted out and reset.
A fresh coat of cotton for the base.
Sure helps the base tailoring to line it before final tailoring.
And a thin coat of cotton between the lining and final fabric.
Just 6 traditional tacks above each front leg.
Tailored up so no tacks needed to be placed along the arms or back posts.
And the finished piece ready for another 50 years.
Thanks for looking!
