Reupholster and recover 8 x Jackson dining chairs

Project - Reupholster and recover 8 x Jackson dining chairs for Gabby from Mosman.

It is always a dramatic change going from fabric material to leather but it can often create a strong statement of colour to the room. We recently fully reupholstered and recovered these chairs for Gabby from Mosman. The result was fantastic!

Scope of work; Remove the old covers. Replace the worn webbing. Replace the seat foam with premium medium-density foam. Recover the chairs in Puccini Chilli. Antique style studded trim added. The job included pick up and delivery to Mosman.

The Puccini Leather Range is a very durable Italian leather with a soft handle. It's recommended for dining chairs, armchairs and sofas that have frequent use.

It's a common story. Good quality solid dining chairs but the old PU leather has seen better days. Introducing Ultimax Synthetic Leather. The Ultimax range of Synthetic Leather has the luxurious look and feel of genuine leather hide, with all the advantages of a fully specified technical heavy duty commercial vinyl.

Being a man-made synthetic product, means it can be engineered to meet all commercial standards and requirements with special treatments to make it stand the test of time.

8 x Louis Chairs

Project - Restoration, repair, reupholstery and recover of 8 x dining chairs.

We just completed restoration and reupholstery of these Italian made Eurpoean beech Louis style chairs for Mark and Julie from Pennant Hills. These chairs required full repair work to loose frame joints, touch up polishing, reupholstery and recovering in new fabric.

Mark bought these chairs in the late 90s and after much family use they had started. Mark compared the cost of restoring the chairs vs buying new chairs of the same quality and discovered it was more cost effective to recover.

The fabric on these chairs is called Casual Desert by Zepel Fabrics. The fabric is a Fibreguard fabric range from Zepel which means it's an easy clean fabric.

Two matching vintage button-back wing chairs

Two matching vintage button-back wing chairs

Project Scope

Two matching vintage button-back wing chairs. Fully reupholstered, restored and recovered for Angeline from Sydney’s northern beaches. The old covers were completely stripped from the chair. The chairs required repair work to the bases of the chairs as they were completely gone. Sections of the original upholstery required repairing and some sections were replaced as they had broken down and deteriorated. The seat cushion was replaced with premium medium density foam with a dacron wrap to give the seating position a more supportive yet comfortable form. The chairs were then traditionally recovered. The legs were also restored and repolished.

 

The Before Photo

Obviously the chairs had seen better days and really required some good TLC to bring them back to their former glory. Never underestimate the restoration potential of any piece of furniture. So often customers tell us that they didn't expect their furniture could come up so well given the state they were in prior to restoration or reupholstery. It's amazing what can be achieved with a little TLC.
