About this title

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 10 upholstery projects.

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.
