This week I wanted to talk about three antique chairs we have reupholstered. There is an antique Lincoln rocking chair, an antique chair with wheels, and a Victorian chair.
Antique Lincoln Rocking Chair
It is burled wood and very old. When we found the rocking
chair it was in pieces. My mom put a lot of work into the piece and did a
beautiful job. She even did individual nail heads through the back of the
chair.
Antique Rolling Chair
This chair is from the 1930’s. We thought this would be a
beautiful desk chair because it was on wheels, but the fabric needed to be
changed. So we found the perfect fabric to use and my mom came up with the
fringe to make it stand out and it turned out really nice.
Victorian Chair
This Victorian chair has beautifully carved spiral spindles.
It is over 100 years. It was bought fro ma bed and breakfast. When we found the
chair it had a bad recovering job. My mom found a beautiful fabric for it and
put a lot of work into the individual nail heads on the piece.
Thank you. You would't believe how much time my mom has into these pieces she fixes up. Just the nail heads usually takes her days to do. But she loves to do it.
