Beautiful Victorian armchairs. I’m restoring a similar pair and I’m overwhelmed! Where is the next video on this? I think your fans, myself included, would love to see more about these.

If the first upholsterer could know the world is admiring his workmanship via the lomography box😊

Loving your show, I'm new to upholstery and have set my self some projects, my grandmother's two Victorian chairs ( one needs a complete rebuild )and an edwardian chaise that was my first, made quite a few mistakes but looks quite good now finished. You make it look so easy I admire you! Learning as I go along( with your help) sometimes it's so frustrating especially corners the Victorian chain I am now working on is a button back but the front is very curved how should I do the corners, so frustrating trying to pleat but messes up the look from the top view have been trying different folds for hours (I'm working with sateen velvet)

I'm so grateful for your videos. I never would have imagined myself recovering a chair, but videos such as yours and Ed Feldman's old series' have been both interesting and instructive. I finished my project yesterday and already have my eyes peeled for something new. I'm a new subscriber so will be ages digging through your lessons. Thanks!

yes you are correct in your thinking they are English chairs as far as i can see and you had noted they have been restored in the past and have french webbing under the frame as we only use black&white of 2" wide as with french being 3" wide i always stitch spring s in a squire and after fixing my cords do the same to the tarpaulin you called it burlap witch a lot thinner but we all do things a bit different work wise and i like to finding out just as you have whats on the inside best wishes to a fellow crafts man 13th d 7th july 2022

I can't believe it was kept in the family for all those years and they just get rid of them. Hopefully they will go to people who appreciate them next

Hi there ! I just came upon your video as a true beginner. I have been extremely interested in upholstery for years and found your video very informative. I was able to receive a chair as my first project for free and was hoping you could help me identify the style and era. It had springs burst in so I started from the bottom up :/ it is said to be over 100 years old, tufted too and a very low wide bottom low to the ground. I also found another fabric over the horse hair before Muslin

I'm working on a chair very similar to the white chair in the back. I looked through your videos to see if you have a video on it. If you do can you please comment the link.

What do you do if the chairs are very dirty and may have been wet over the years? Can you clean the horsehair?

Louis XV style is my guess due to the curved legs. Louis XVI usually has straight legs.
