Animal Farm Love Seats

This set of love seats came from a really beautiful farm in Southern New Hampshire.
 Alive with a few emu's, pot belly pigs, various kinds of chickens, miniature horses, a mule and a donkey or two, a dog or two and a few cats kickin' around!
The fabric had seen its day but the quality stuffings and frames
are like the day they were created.
 Lots of staple lines to pull out of this hardwood frame.
 The upper rail was stapled in with 3 inch staples.
took a bit to clean them all up for re-upholstering.
 Fresh coat of cotton on the base.
 The way the arm fronts were designed there was quite a bit of tailoring.

 The outsides all backed and lined with a thin coat of cotton.

 Bottomed out with a crisp dust cover.
 And nice styled bun legs to match.
 And the matching of the design along the outside arms.
 Tailored up as strait as possible so the pattern doesn't waver.

 And the same with the seat cushions and the two lower rails.
 
Lots of pillow work to go with the frames.
4 throw pillows, 4 seat cushions and 8 back pillows.



And everything put together after a final inspection
These love seats were really well designed and built.

The fabric was chosen from the shops in stock fabric library.
Close to 30 yards to complete the job.
Thanks for looking.
