Next Steps

Once you have selected the piece of furniture you would like to buy, revive, or you would like us to make a headboard, box or screen, you are welcome to get in contact, using the contact form.

For upholstery projects, tell us a bit about your requirements. It is a good idea to include a couple of photographs and height, width and depth measurements.

We will invite you to have a 15 minute phone call (or video meeting) to hear more about your ideas.

The next stage is for us to do a site visit to confirm the work to be done. We can bring a selection of fabrics for you to see what would fit with your interior design palette.

We confirm with a estimate or quote, terms and conditions with a timeline.

We arrange for collection and delivery at a time that works well for you

Upholstery FAQs and Guidance

Find answers on typical upholstery turnaround times, fabric sourcing, care instructions, and collection options across Hampshire and nearby counties.

under development
A small collection of three rescued antique chairs arranged in a tasteful Hampshire cottage interior: a Victorian balloon-back chair in striped linen, an Edwardian nursing chair in soft rose tweed, and a classic club chair in charcoal wool. Each piece shows carefully restored woodwork and thoughtfully chosen modern fabrics that harmonize yet remain distinct. They are grouped on a pale oak floor near a large sash window, with a simple woven rug beneath. Overcast daylight bathes the scene in even, diffused light, creating a serene, sustainable-living atmosphere. Shot at eye level with balanced composition and sharp focus, the photographic style feels aspirational yet authentic for a gallery highlighting antique chair rescue and revival.
