Here is another great example of furniture built to last. The frame is just as tight as it was when it was built probably 60 years ago. After removing all the old tax and stripping it down this piece is ready to get Tailored back up.
The owner of this chair found 8 yards of this fabric with a 21 inch vertical repeat.
It's got a nice heavy weight to it. It is a fabric that will look new and fresh for years to come.
Fresh coat of paint for the legs.
After a minor spring repair and inspection, new coat of traditional burlap with a new 2 inch nosing hand sewn into the deck front.
I have many times seeing horsehair last 200 years or more.
A fresh coat of cotton over the top. And hand sewn the cut and tailored decking piece, to the base.
Spring front bases are always a challenge.
Re-set the horse hair by handsewing.
And the front of the base all finished off.
A fresh coat of cotton on the inside arms and inside backs really help everything tailor up sharp.
Here shows the pattern height is the same as it walks around the inside just above the seat cushion.
And the outside back is backed and lined with a thin coat of cotton.
Mirror set arm front templates.
Deep seated arm covers sure does that extend the life of the fabric.
Below shows the matching fabric for the arm covers to the front arm templates.
Two extra large buttons tailor cut and set.
This family heirloom is ready to go for another long run.
Ready to go Home.
