With 28 years of combined experience we specialize in historically
accurate restoration of 18th and 19th century upholstered furniture.
The textile work incorporates traditional materials and methods
including: custom dyed and hand woven show fabrics, webbings,
under fabrics, and trims. In keeping with the traditional
materials and methods of 18th century upholstering we use hand tacking,
marsh grass, horse hair and quality goose down.
The initial
consultation will begin the process of determining fabric types, colors
and stylistic options available for the upholstering. The client's
involvement is key to insuring complete satisfaction and years of
enjoyment of a prized piece of furniture.
The first nine photos show upholsterer Ellie Blachly restoring an 18th c.
Portsmouth wing chair owned by John Burgeson.
