The detail
is the difference

Look at the stud lines, the piping, the pattern matching across seat and back. That level of finish comes from four decades of working with fabric. The standard is the same whether it's a marine squab or a Louis XV armchair.

“Sebastian’s work is exceptional. We had a very old and loved day bed squab that needed replacing. He made the whole process so easy and was such a help with selecting the right fabric for our home. Plus he was so quick!”

“Sebastian reupholstered an original French Louis XV armchair for me. He repaired the frame where needed and oiled the wood. He positioned the fabric artfully so the pattern repeats are seamless between the back and seat.”

Straight answers

Asked often

Q01Is it worth recovering an old chair?

If the frame is solid, almost always. A well-made chair recovered in new fabric costs less than a comparable new piece and keeps quality furniture out of landfill. Bring it in or send photos for an honest assessment.

Q02Can I supply my own fabric?

Yes. You can bring your own fabric, or choose from our range. If you bring your own, we will advise on whether the weight and weave suit the job.

Q03Do you make window seat squabs?

Yes, window seats and banquettes are a speciality. Custom-cut foam, piped edges, and fabric to match your room. We template the space for a proper fit.

Q04How long does upholstery work take?

Most single-piece jobs are done within 1-3 weeks depending on fabric availability and workload. We will confirm a timeframe with your quote.
