At King and Eastland we take the traditional craft of furniture upholstery very seriously. We know that recreating the original beauty of a much-loved piece of furniture can't be rushed. It takes the skilled use of hand tools, and an expert eye and sympathetic care and attention to detail to ensure a family heirloom retains its provenance and looks the way you dreamed it should look, with its comfort fully restored. We give the same care and attention when it comes to modern pieces too. We take great pride in re-upholstering and covering modern furniture to give it a whole new lease of life.
King and Eastland's core business is the re-upholstery of furniture, both antique and modern, but the company are also happy to accept commissions to build items of furniture from start to finish. Clients can involve themselves as much as they wish in the process- from the initial design concept to the all-important selection of fabrics and finishing touches. The business was established in 1981 by Alan King and Kevin Eastland, who between them have over 80 years experience in the Upholstery industry.
The finished restoration fully brings back the material finish and padding the wood is cleaned, but patina of age is retained. Open and weak joints are now soundly re-made. The tools used and ironmongery are all sympathetic to the need to retain the original look and feel unless you ask for it to be changed. Starting from the frame we assess the condition of the wood, joints, back and feet before moving on to required finish you are looking for. Some older frames become loose and although they look sound in all other respects the ability to hold new upholstery tacks and support weight requires reinforcement, replacement or enhancement.
