The revamp of a dining chair






This little chair was looking very old and dusty when I found it in a second hand shop, but I liked the flower pattern on the back and the neat arrow legs. I decided to French-polish it to bring out the shine in the wood - the effect is amazing! I re-upholstered the seat from scratch - 5 new springs, lots of hair, hessian, cotton flock and calico - and re-covered it in a fabric with tiny white flowers on a white background. V V Rouleaux had the trimming to match. Unique.
