    Lovely! I like the fabric and the understated finishing. Simple is better, sometimes.
    Beautiful, Craig!!

    I would have used teal velvet to make the new upholstery, and only use Drew’s patterned fabric to make accent pillows to go with it.

    The piece looks stellar in situ, but I really would have preferred "ticking" with a larger pattern on it. The rosewood frame is to die for.

    A great piece but it looks unfinished with no gimp or braid to cover the nail heads.

      It's just material. Saying it's a bit "crazy" is a bit strong. Not really a word people use in every situation they find unusual.

    So many traditional hand skills are being lost these days as they do not teach them in schools any more .I hope Craig passes his knowledge, understanding and craft on to the next generation by taking on an apprentice.. You done an excellent job on a piece of furniture which was ready for the skip.

    • @tallismaryward
      @tallismaryward 4 роки тому +1

      @@okjoe5561 There were 1000's of other choices. The pattern is too small and too quickly formed to make a full pattern. The line at the front should be even not in a wave, The smallness of the pattern extenuates this flaw.

    The upholstery guy apparently works for cheap. Work and cost of fabric would be at least 700 pounds in Czech Republic if talk in its low end. Cant imagine selling this for mere 1000 pounds.

  • @anteeker
    @anteeker 5 років тому +5

    Cheap looking printed fabric on a piece like this? Totally inappropriate. They should have used a richly colored damask or brocade, a twisted cord around the edge of the seat, and a pleated fabric(say velvet in a contrasting color) under the cord, called ruching-finished off with a coordinating gimp. The buttons should be done in the same color as the ruching. 6" bullion fringe hanging down from the arms would have been a nice finishing touch. Ticking as he called it is for mattresses and pillows not rosewood furniture.
