Located in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. Anthill Upholstery offers a wide range of high-quality refurbishment options to the domestic customer. Catering for bespoke and smaller items of furniture. I have over twenty years experience in the furniture trade, with jobs ranging from commercial upholstery with brand name firms, to traditional furniture restoration and repair, where attention to detail and customer satisfaction is paramount. My aim is to provide a high quality service at a competitive price.
Just imagine for a bargain price, you've bought yourself an old Victorian sofa with droopy seats and sticky, worn out covers. You bung it in your living room, remembering to place a throw over the worst holes to hide the straw stuffing and invite all your friends and family round for a sofa warming party. I wonder how impressed they'll be when they go home with red and nasty bumps up their legs (sharp straw and horsehair) ripped pants (A rogue spring), an uncontrollable itch (A mite bite) and maybe a disturbed mouse hiding in a pocket!
