At left is a chair I renovated a few years ago. Originally a 1930s 'carver' it was the only one of the set suitable ie. it hand arms ! It was sanded down to bare wood (oak) then hand painted in a variety of different neutral colours before finally being "sponge" finished. Once completed it was varnished for durability.
The seat was also 're-vamped' using some dressmaking fabric - the only one I could find that blended in the hall where it was to be used.
However, now after moving, its likely the seating will be renovated again to better suit the room its to be put in - more news on this over the forthcoming year.
