[QUOTE="bgm, post: 119126, member: 1716"]Hi All, I'm completely new to antiques, never really had any connection with them, until recently. I have an antique looking chair which is very precious to my wife to be (we are getting married in 2017). The chair was in a very bad state and I decided to give her a unique wedding present, I reupholster/refurbish the old armchair. So I have just over a year to make something very special for her, with my hands (rather than dave it done by a professional upholsterer). I managed to remove the old fabric and stripped the chair until its frame and I will be starting to work on it soon. It's obvious that someone did some basic maintenance on it, still the chair itself needs a lot of TLC. Photos can be seen here: [URL]https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o5ezfnu5vqvvfnr/AACDsOPHQE7UL3R2RBO8ypFna?dl=0[/URL] I know it's an insane project, but I really would like to do this for her, I think it would be a great and very memorable present.
