My Twelfth Chair

My Twelfth Chair I love old furniture, painting, restoring, remodelling and recycling bits to make them functional again.

My business name comes from the basis of an old Russian novel regarding twelve chairs. My husband came up with it after recollecting a film he watched around 1970 about treasure and chairs! In the Soviet Union in 1927, Ippolit Matveevich Vorobyaninov (Ron Moody), an impoverished aristocrat from Imperia Russia, is summoned, along with the village priest, to the deathbed of his mother-in-law.. She r

eveals, before passing, that a fortune in jewels had been hidden from the Bolsheviks by being sewn into the seat cushion of one of the twelve chairs from the family's dining room set. After hearing the dying woman's confession, the Russian Orthodox priest Father Fyodor (Dom DeLuise), who has arrived to give the last rites, decides to abandon the Church and attempt to steal the treasure. It is a tenuous link I know, but I thought at the time, it seemed apt that at 46, having just left my job, in the process of re-upholstering a chair, that just maybe, I might find my 'inner' treasure, something that might help me to regain a piece of my 'old self' back!
