Ribble Valley upholstery & furniture restoration specialists
This traditional drop arm sofa needed to be fully restored and reupholstered to bring it back to life. We removed the existing webbings and foams and replaced black and white jute webbing base attaching coil spring system, lashing to fit. We had to remove 2 layers of existing fabric and restore. We reupholstered in Moon Arncliffe fabric. Naturally we took the utmost care that the check pattern run seamlessly from panel to panel.
This traditional double-sided chaise/sofa was given a contemporary twist, being re-upholstered in an oversized houndstooth wool (Ripon) in dark navy by Ian Mankin. The result is absolutely stunning, a real talking point, and credit must go to the client for a bold choice of fabric which has paid off handsomely.
Our client chose a beautiful turquoise embossed velvet for the re-upholstery of this Edwardian low-armed armchair. The chair originally featured rope piping around the back and arms – but due to the lack of availability of a matching colour, we instead hand sewed each self-piped panel individually. The superb final result is true to the original character of the piece.
Classic traditional chaise with decorative woodwork and plush upholstery. We traditionally restored the inside seat and polished the woodwork, before reupholstering in Moon ‘Mac’ paisley design in Heather. This lovely piece was finished with extensive brown studwork.
Original early Georgian chair, fully restored and upholstered in Colefax & Fowler Arundel blue fabric, an interesting plain which combines a subtly coloured space dyed warp with a rich chenille weft. Incorporating self piping for defined edges, and duck feather cushion for ultimate comfort.
Superb gentleman’s slipper chair featuring dark mahogany wood turned legs and brass castors. Deep buttoned and upholstered in grey Moon herringbone wool.
This mid 18th century antique double-ended chaise has been restored from the frame upwards, and looks resplendent in a beautiful deep purple velvet from Designers’ Guild.
Howard and Sons of London were the foremost upholstery makers of the nineteenth century, and their pieces are much sought after nowadays. Extremely comfortable and well made, they can be covered in Howard and Sons’ own fabric design, just like the example shown here.
We were recently commissioned to provide soft furnishings for the re-opened Coach & Horses Inn in Bolton by Bowland, near Clitheroe. These included large headboards for the bedrooms, both deep-buttoned and plain; deep-buttoned leather banquettes for the dining area; dining chairs; scatter cushions and bolster cushions in various designs and sizes, and decorative curtains. Many of these we have made from scratch, from the timber upwards. We have also renovated existing pieces of furniture, such as the settles, making them beautiful and inviting once more.
The materials used are of very high quality, and the fabrics chosen carefully to make an impact, whilst remaining sympatehtic to the environment.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the various pieces look absolutely stunning in-situ, as does the rest of this beautifully refurbished Grade 2 listed inn.
These beautiful chairs were in desperate need of re-covering. The full set included some chairs with arms, and some without. The Sienna shades of the houndstooth Harris Tweed look fantastic against the dark woodwork.
