Upholstered Armchair from a Furniture Maker

This handcrafted armchair represents the finished work of a master upholsterer. With its plush backrest, broad side armrests, and short support legs, the piece highlights how solid wooden frames are covered with protective layers and soft upholstery.

Secrets of Professional Furniture Upholstery

Before applying visible outer fabric, upholsterers attach steel springs and webbing straps to the inner frame for springy support. High-end armchairs often require several yards of durable upholstery textile cut with extreme precision.

Questions and answers

Furniture Making Questions and Answers

How long does it take an upholsterer to make an armchair?
Building a custom armchair frame and carefully applying padding and fabric typically takes a skilled craftsman between fifteen and thirty hours.
Why are short legs used on heavy armchairs?
Short, thick wooden legs keep the chair low to the ground and evenly distribute weight across the floor to support heavy loads safely.
