Upholstery refers to the adding of padding, springs, webbing, fabric, or
leather to furniture in order to make it more attractive and
comfortable. Often, the upholstery of a piece of furniture is the first
thing to need repairing - a service which can be costly. This little
book contains a comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide to reupholstering
household furniture. Complete with helpful diagrams and handy tips, this
guide is perfect for those with no previous experience and will be of
great interest to owners of vintage or antique furniture, with an
interest in learning how to reupholster it themselves. Many old texts
such as this are increasingly costly and hard to come by, and it is with
this in mind that we are proudly republishing this antiquarian text
here, complete with a new introduction on the history of upholstery.
