Fine Antiques – A Focus on Fabric and Upholstery: Undoubtedly some of the most stunning antique restorations are those with beautiful upholstery, where the clock is turned back and whimsy, warmth, sophistication or relation can take the fore, depending on how the mood inspires you. The influence of fabric and colour when it comes to reinventing interiors and antiques is all powerful.
In the world of fine antiques, the art of upholstery and choice of fabric isn’t merely about restoration, it’s a transformative process that breathes new life into our much-loved pieces. Here we take a look at a few lately restored pieces, lovingly re-upholstered in pretty fabrics.
Beyond aesthetics and practicality, the fabric chosen for upholstery holds a deeper significance. It becomes part of fabric (excuse the pun) of everyday life, influencing the ambience of a room and affecting the moods and emotions of the those that live with them. Selecting a fabric isn’t merely a decision of colour or pattern, but a choice of how we wish to live and what thoughts, memories and moods we wish to invite into our lives.
