What Happens When You Reupholster Furniture Many Times?

This furniture had previously been re-upholstered four times with the integrity of the finish increasingly compromised over the years. We were given the task of stripping the furniture completely back and restoring to its bygone glory days.

How We Restored This Antique Furniture

https://www.parkerinteriors.com.au/re-uphoster/We took extra care and slowly worked on these precious pieces of furniture to restore them to their former glory. This process included:

  • Stripping all the upholstery to the bare frames
  • Minimal structural repairs as the internal frames were in amazing condition which is an incredible testament to those who made this furniture over 175 years ago
  • Fitting new heavy weight jute webbing,
  • Lacing in new coil springs
  • Then covering with hessian
  • Creating a new stitched edge
  • Laminating with a layer of premium padding and polyester
  • Fitting the inside backs with new jute webbing and hessian
  • Laminating with a layer of premium cushioning and polyester to provide a smooth finish
  • Deep buttoning was marked out on both the prepared pieces of furniture and the cut pile velvet
  • Upholstering with the buttoning traditionally vandyked and
  • Padding of the outside backs/arms whilst finishing with gimp edging

Our clients were amazed with the result and plan to pass this furniture to their children for the future generations to enjoy
