This Skirted ottoman had seen better days! Our client felt that saving this well constructed ottoman from the curbside was worth the 2 day transformation. We even helped find the fabric that matched their sofa.
Great Grandma would have been proud to see the parlor sofa restored. Our team stripped this sofa down to the frame. The first step in the restoration was repair and securing the walnut frame. Then we addressed the refinishing of the wood surfaces. Once the woodwork was complete we re webbed the straps and retied the springs. The fabric selected was from the Marrimac Vintage Fabric Gallery.
Refinished & Reupholstered Empire Revival Settee, circa 1920
Originally crafted and upholstered in the 1920's this chair was reupholstered with a princess theme in mind. The silk polk-a-dot fabric on the body of the chair is accented with a thin multi-colored stripe for the contrast cording. The skirt was finished off with a striped skirt and rosettes over each leg. The original cushion was replace with a down feather cushion.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING“Wonderful”Amy, Raleigh, NC
Finish Pros is wonderful! Dan took my great-grandmother's circa-1920 vanity and made it beautiful again. Granny purchased the piece used in 1930, and it had never been refinished. He and his people repaired damage so that even I barely know where it was. He removed and refurbished the original brass hardware, and he listened very carefully to my instructions. One of the decorative pieces I did not want repaired; it had been that way since Granny first bought it. Dan fixed the other more "recent" damage, and left exactly the place I intended he leave, no more and no less. Regarding the rocking chair, Dan gently declined to refinish my great-grandmother's rocking chair, explaining to me that it would harm the value of the piece. Instead, Dan disassembled it, reglued it, cleaned it, and polished it. As an added bonus, he told me about the history of the company that made it. When he was delayed about 10 days in completing the rocking chair, he reduced the price. He is a former antique appraiser and a delight to work with. He told me the history of an upholstered chair that was in the living room. I will use him again when I'm ready to refinish and reupholster that piece. His company picks up the pieces and returns them.
