Synopsis
This is a comprehensive, practical guide to upholstery. It brings all the techniques of the craft, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, within everyone's reach. Including a detailed run-down on the basic procedures, tools and materials, it demonstrates ten upholstery projects, ranging from the easy (a chair with a slip seat) to the difficult (a chesterfield sofa). An illustrated history of upholstery explores the development of technique and style. Throughout, the emphasis is not only on how to do it, but why, in terms of good styling and statisfying design. The directory of procedures, tools and materials can be applied to any piece of furniture.

From Library Journal
This is a guide intended for the experienced upholsterer who works with antiques and period furniture. Part of the book is devoted to a history of styles of upholstered furniture from the 17th to the 20th centuries so that upholstery restoration may be made as authentic as possible. Sections on equipment, techniques, and projects assume some expertise in order to achieve professional results. Although not as practical for the home craftsperson as a basic guide like Michael Torelli and Ellen Haggerty's Reupholstering for the Home Craftsman (1977), this is an elegant, useful book for the antiques restorer. Recommended for decorative arts collections.
