Product Details
Description
Discover the elegance of timeless craftsmanship with this meticulously restored antique Victorian mahogany chaise lounge, an exquisite addition to any sophisticated interior. Painstakingly stripped back to its original wooden frame, this piece has undergone a complete and traditional reupholstery process, ensuring both its historical integrity and long-lasting durability.
Every element of this chaise has been expertly restored: the mahogany frame has been carefully repaired. During the upholstery restoration, new webbing was used, and the many springs were carefully installed one by one and lashed together by hand using traditional upholstery techniques to create a durable and lasting spring unit base. New fillings were used, which meet all current fire safety regulations. This dedication to traditional craftsmanship ensures the piece’s longevity and comfort, making it a truly timeless addition to your home.
The highlight of this restoration is the bespoke patchwork upholstery, crafted from four distinct types of Harris Tweed. This luxurious fabric, renowned for its durability and rich texture, adds a contemporary flair to the chaise while honoring its classic Victorian design.
Stevenson and Soames are proudly endorsed by the Guild of Master Craftsmen for outstanding craftsmanship. This chaise lounge is not just a piece of furniture, but a testament to superior quality and artisanal skill. The chaise retains its four original casters, one of which has a charmingly wonky squeak. While I could have replaced the casters with new ones, I felt this quirk added to the piece's authenticity and character, enhancing rather than detracting from its overall quality and age.
The intricate mahogany detailing perfectly complements the rich, earthy tones of the Harris Tweed, making this a one-of-a-kind statement piece.
Ideal for the discerning collector or interior designer, this unique piece of history has been reimagined for modern elegance, offering unparalleled style and sophistication for your living space.
