Last week I was talking about how reupholstery is good for furniture with show wood. Another interesting example appeared this week in the Plumbs re-upholstery workshops. This fascinating chair is one that stands out and really shows how show wood furniture can be transformed.
I haven’t seen a recliner before with this footstool arrangement. Very unusual!
The foot rest has the appearance of a drawer which then pulls out. The leather upholstery contrasts well with the newly reupholstered cushions for a really interesting finish.
The heavily carved wooden frame picture 13 contrasts well with the new fabric, a superb end result.
A lot of work and skill goes into this type of project but the end result is worthwhile. These pictures underline the fact that if a piece of furniture has a good frame, it’s worth keeping. It’s good for the environment and gives really satisfying end results. The people doing this work really are taking pride in their efforts.
