The History of E.R. Noblett & Sons
E.R. Noblett & Sons were amongst several mid-century furniture manufacturers based in the Adelaide region during the 1900’s. They made a range of Scandinavian styled furniture specialising in dining chairs, tables and sideboards.
Our Client’s Story
We were approached by one of our long standing clients who had fortunately inherited a set of 1970’s Noblett Jarrah wood dining chairs. These chairs were still upholstered in the original fabric. We had recently reupholstered both a settee and a chair for this client in an abstract floral linen so the same fabric was selected to match these pieces.
The Steps Taken in This Chair Restoration
- Firstly the chairs were dismantled
- The existing upholstery was removed
- The show-wood frames were cleaned and polished
- The heavy grade elastic webbing was fitted to the seats
- Finally heavy grade foam cushioning was fabricated and laminated to the plywood seat and back panels
Chairs Restored to Their Former Glory
The result of this reupholstery project was stunning! Our clients inherited dining chairs have blended in perfectly with the recently reupholstered lounge suite we completed for them. It is always so rewarding to see intergenerational appreciation of high quality furniture. It shows to the value and the importance of always investing in high quality furniture.
