These custom built pieces came out of a high end design house about 25 years ago would be my guess. The frames are built to last hundreds of years under daily use.
The upholstery design was extensive and redesign is necessary as the patterning to duplicate the original design isn't practical. A 33" depth of the seat sure is nice.

After removing existing fabric and staple removal these pieces are ready to be reset.
A full coat of cotton will be just enough to get these arms looking sharp.
The owner chose a USA made fabric from one of my suppliers.
A Deep blue velvet.
The outsides backed & lined.
With piping trim throughout.
New foam for the seat cushions with a poly wrap.
The same insides retained for the back cushions.
A 5 foot ottoman with upholstered legs really helps top off this sitting area.
Again this piece was over designed and common sense had the need to strip it & start from frame.
Below is a close up picture of my in house 3 thread trim cut serger used to trim up 4 arm throws and an ottoman throw out of the little remaining fabric.
Clean pressed seams on this end cut fabric.
Sure does this pair justice with full skirts.
These trainer skirts left for a few days really help fine tailor the skirts.
Ready to go!
With the many distractions being a sole proprietor, this is the best system I have come up with for labor, for all concerned.
With over 25 years in home furnishings upholstery in an extremely clean & organized shop, there is an excellent value in efficiency.
Lots of numbers to pull off the 19 yards of fabric to get these pieces completed for that amount considering the odd measurements needed.
Thanks for looking here!
