With an emphasis on simplicity, this book contains nine step-by-step upholstery projects, described in detail and illustrated with colour photographs, showing how to restore the upholstery of popular period furniture. A short introduction to each piece provides a historical background, then each project is set out in photo-caption style following all the processes and techniques used to restore each piece. All the pieces have been selected for their typicality and ease of availability. These include: a piano stool with a pinstuffed seat; a late Victorian box ottoman; a Victorian dining chair with a deep, buttoned seat; a 1950s armchair; a late Victorian chaise-longue; and an iron back chair.
