Parker Knoll fireside chair
This Parker Knoll PK720 wingback chair has been beautifully reupholstered in Sunbury ivory crushed velvet. At the client’s request, the technique used differed slightly from the norm, in that the inside back and wing panels were applied with the pile running ‘upside down’, to create a different kind of shading when the velvet catches the light.

Despite the proliferation of sofas and chairs named ‘Woburn’ on the high street, this must surely be the original and best. Long-standing English manufacturer Duresta is famed for its build quality.

Buttoned wingback chair in cream leather
As can be seen from our ‘before’ photo, this imposing fireside armchair was in need of some urgent TLC. Our client chose cream Muirhead leather for the re-upholstery and we did the rest. Foam was replaced on both arms to restore comfort, as the original had lost some of its fullness over time. The chair is finished with chrome studwork.

Union Flag carver chair
This occasional carver chair arrived in our workshop with a ripped cover, collapsed wadding and broken springs. We stripped it back to the frame and made all the replacements necessary to provide renewed support and comfort.
Our client provided a piece of ‘Union Flag’ design fabric, which fits the seat perfectly and definitely makes a strong impression! It’s finished with brown studwork, and we think it looks fantastic. It’s a versatile piece of furniture which will suit a variety of spaces.
