Hipupholstery is a family business with over 40 years of traditional upholstery experience. We carefully source beautiful, well made pieces of furniture to respectfully (and sometime disrespectfully!) restore in order for them to be desirable once more. We love pieces that were made to last and once restored, become useful again for many years to come. We have a particular eye on mid century, retr

Long storyā€¦

Believe it or not, I bought these chairs back in 2022 from a lovely lady who was clearing her parents home. Not knowing what to do with them, she listed them on eBay.

Fast forward until today and they have finally returned back to her. When she realised we were an upholstery shop, she bought them back and commissioned us to restore them.

I canā€™t wait to hear what her 91 year old Dad thinks of them when he sees them again in their new garb, heā€™s owned them since new and thought they were gone forever.

I donā€™t think they were ever meant to leave the family šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Remember these? The salvaged Golden Lily ā€˜William Morrisā€™ vintage curtain fabric..

What a transformation itā€™s made to this these beautiful French Style Chairs.

I wouldnā€™t overly recommended using curtain fabric for upholstery, due to durability. However this fabric had a good weight to it and the chairs will endure very light use - so why not use something youā€™ve saved to create something beautiful šŸ¤©

A Morris Chair is an early type of reclining chair. The design was adapted by William Morrisā€™s firm, Morris & Company, from a prototype owned by Ephraim Colman in rural Sussex, England. It was first marketed around 1866.

What a pleasure to work on, I think it suits its new velvet upholstery šŸ’™
