BeforeAfter
Before & after
Same frame. Completely new story.
This 1950s slipper chair came in tired and threadbare. We stripped it to the frame, rebuilt the seat, and gave it a modern channel-tufted back in plum velvet.
- Stripped to the frame — joints re-glued and reinforced
- New high-density foam and fresh batting for lasting comfort
- Hand-sewn channel tufting — one of our specialties
