Restoring chairs





















Part of the work which we undertake is to restore antique furniture. This chair was one of a set of four which we restored. They were rescued from an old croft house in Shetland. The old finish had to be scraped and sanded away and then refinished, the back legs re glued and new shaped pieces glued on to the legs. The upholstery was also replaced using the traditional methods. It was a time consuming process but the end result was worth it with the chairs being transformed to look as good as new.
