Antique Rocking Chair Reupholstered

Rocking Chair
Before
This was an antique rocking chair which my customer had refinished prior to my
Rocking Chair
After

receiving it to be reupholstered. The customer had selected a light weave material which looked great with the dark stain on the mahogany wood. The springs were in pretty good condition, so they didn't require to be re-tied. I covered the springs with upholstery burlap, a normal procedure for this type of chair. (The customer supplied the "before" photo since they did the refinishing and I did the upholstery only).

The wood was in great shape and the chair was sturdy and well preserved. The material was a linen weave in a light cream color, well suited to the color of the stain selected by my customer. I finished off the chair with welt cording on the front and rear seat portion for a touch of elegance and style.
