Ornate Leather Highback Chair Restoration





January 2009 - This beautiful chair was in the process of being delivered to it's new owner when it fell off the back of a pick-up truck. It landed directly on the sculptured appointment on the chair back and broke into several pieces, some of which were never found. both arms were also broken off. The chair back sculpture was painstakingly pieced back together and missing parts were recreated. The chair arms and legs were reattached and/or reinforced. This was a challenging and very enjoyable restoration.
