Furniture Upholsterers

Hi there

We have a danish style arm chair that needs reupholstering. Any recommendations? (or tips if we decide to do it ourselves) Would need to be quite local or do pick ups as we have no car and its quite a big chair...

 

Many thanks

I'd be interested in what you find on this. I made some half hearted enquiries about a couple of chairs that my parents had made a couple of yeras back, but never got round round to getting it done. I was quoted £700 - 900 per chair.

These guys collect and they did a lovely job on a Victorian armchair for me.

John Lawler fixed up a chair for me a couple of years ago. Excellent job and a lovely guy. I got a price from Karam and then realised I'd not got the upholsterer that had been recommended. Found John's place a few doors up and told him the price I'd been quoted. He winced a bit (I think the quote was lower than he would have given) and then said "Well I'd better do it for that then."

Hello Rachel

Just come across this discussion. I've inherited 2 sadly moth-eaten chairs from my father, with huge potential.  They are both quite old - probably Edwardian.  Did John Lawler repair similar ones for you?

Many thanks

A friend of mine has just started as an upholsterer and is re-doing all of my dining room chairs.  She has done armchairs too (one was for sale in the Little Paris shop in Crouch End) and is very good.  If you would like to contact her, her name is Hannah Barham and her email address is barham_hannah@yahoo.co.uk.  She's based near Highgate tube but is able to come and collect / drop off.

Thanks!

Anna

Hi, I've used Karam a couple of times - they are reasonably priced and do things quickly, and I've been pleased with their work, but I've never been offered pick up or delivery!  Luckily carrying ebay finds round to Hornsey High Street is one of my specialist skills.

I'd be clear about exactly what you want, though, as his English isn't great - it's a bit easier when his son is there.

I used the upholstery shop in Finsbury Park (near the junction of Stroud Green Road and Ferme Park Road) about a couple of years ago.  They were quite expensive but did a brilliant job and I'd definitely use them again.   They've been there a long time.
