These old timers sure have been on a good run. When removing the old fabrics for reupholstering there was four layers of upholstery fabric. There is lots of oxidation on the inner wood frame also.
After removing all the staples it was time for some bonds fill.
Back in the day, Spring bases were meant to be spongy and bouncy.
The owner would like to firm up the base.
With a thicker mil coil spring set and a inch taller should get the frame base right.
A few specialized tools are needed to get this job done right.
Tied nice and tight like a drum.
A traditional coat of burlap with a new nosing.
The fabric has a challenging 13 1/2 by 31 inch repeat.
Lots of advance patterning required to get this tailored up right.
The insides were restored the last time it was upholstered.
Many decades left before it needs another one.
The design of the larger chair requires removal of the wings.
Sure is nice to work in the morning sun on a beautiful fall day.
A nice clean shop makes for good clean work.
Of coarse the outsides are backed and lined with a fresh coat of cotton.
Mirror templates on all four arms.
One of my in house ottomans to add to the pair.
Pretty nice leg finish for an upholstery guy.
Worth a note for the matching tailoring on the front of the seat cushion.
Box store furniture sure won't have a great run like these guys.
Probably 120 years and they're good to go for another run.
Thanks for looking here!
