French Provential Side Chair

This classic showed up for some attention.

After pulling lots of extra long staples to get nice clean lines its ready to get tailored up.

                                                

 The bottom deserves a new set of webbing & a high end dust cover.

 It's been a while that all the finished wood has seen a freshen up.

A nice coat of cotton helps this piece looking sharp.

I couldn't resist dabbling with the camera with this classic side chair.

The outside back centered and set tight as a drum.

 This whole piece is set with rolled under fabric. (not set then cut)

Sure use all my experience over the years to set the pieces tight.

 Uniform single set tacks.

The small arm caps are mirror set.

 Center set firm.

 Clean cut inside back posts.

 These French pieces sure don't allow much tolerance at all when tailoring them up.

This piece will make some great company.

A Beautiful Couple #3

This set of hardwood well built chairs with a nice large size, needs a new fabric from the owners choice.

After removing lots of extra long half inch staples throughout, they are ready to be tailored back up.

 The polywrap synthetic layer just below the fabric just doesn't cut it and needs replacing. 

Natural cotton gives a much better feel. Cotton also quiets a room down.

 These stripes are small & bold.

Keeping these stripes from waving & mirror cutting the pair is paramount.

 Of course the outside back gets lined & backed with the right amount of cotton batting.

Mirror cut pleats.

 Clean arm cuts.

 Note the green stripes intercept.

 No waving on the sides either.

With a nice tight set on the base.

 Matching piping trim on the front & back.

Straight up through.

 I have been doing upholstery from this shop for 20 years this week!

 Ready to serve.
Thanks for looking here.
