Terrance from S'wonderfull did a great job selecting a leather and shearling combination for the sofa and celery green fabric with bullion fringe to give the sofa and chair a whole new look.
I truly appreciate the customer having me upholster these pieces for her .

This is a 1855 Henry Belter sofa and 3 chairs that I upholstered traditional style except that I used staples and no tacks .the original horse hair was shampooed and dried . It was in remarkably great shape after the cleaning and drying process. The burlap pad wrapped around the post is original from the Belter factory . I'll post the contents of what I found in it later . The contents included a 1855 religious newspaper and well preserved fabric scraps .
The sofa had only been recovered once . Thankfully the upholsterer only replaced the seat spring webbing and retied the seat springs before putting the original padding back on and add some cotton batting before putting the fabric on . The same upholsterer only put a layer of cotton batting over the original muslin covering the horse hair on the backrest and did absolutely no refurbishing of the padding or burlap under lay . I'm thankful that it was all left untouched as that showed exactly how it was originally done in the factory in 1855 .
