3 Antique Chairs Reupholstered

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.

Introduction and Antique Early 1940's Ship Bronze Chandelier


I wanted to start this post by talking about our company. We have had an interest in antiques for several years and we started Mauro's Resale about two and a half years ago. My mom and I have a lot of fun finding unique pieces and researching them. We love to bring old stuff back to its original condition and also repurpose items when we have too. My mom is the main talent for fixing our pieces. I usually keep us organized, promote the business, and help her when I can. We have a lot of great pieces that are antique, vintage, collectibles, and repurposed items. We mainly deal in furniture and collectibles. 








I also wanted to share our favorite piece we have right now. In the pictures it shows the incredible workmanship on this antique early 1940's ship chandelier. The chandelier is made by the Lincoln Lamp Company and is a numbered piece. It is all bronze and is a very solid piece. It is very heavy and takes two of us to move it. This beautiful piece is an incredible piece of art and would be a great centerpiece for any home. This piece is truly a work of art.
