The Upholstered Pieces

Our upholstered pieces are made with all natural materials whenever possible. Slip seats for the Upholstered Side and Arm Chairs are made of jute webbing, covered by a layer of heavy burlap, a 50/50 blend of horse and cattle tail hair, then all cotton padding. Upholstered Side and Arm Chair seats that are shipped without upholstery fabric are covered with heavy muslin to hold the padding in place. When finishing the seat, the upholsterer should apply an additional 1" layer of padding.

The Sophia's, Pomfret and Anna Liffey Chair seats are constructed of 8-way hand tied coil springs covered with burlap, 50/50 horse and cattle hair blend, all cotton padding, muslin and Dacron under the fabric. The outer pieces of fabric are hand stitched to complete the chair.

The Sleigh Chair and Sofa fronts, as well as the back legs, are made from the wood of your choice. The interior frame is made of maple for additional strength; all joints are pegged. The seat cushion is made of 25% down and 75% feather, with a 30% blend of fiberfill for support as well as comfort.

Our upholstered furniture will provide firm support as well as lasting comfort for years to come, needing at most a replacement layer of cotton when it is time to reupholster.
