ATTENTION TO DETAIL

 

 

 

 
Antique Barber Chair, circa 1900. From the photo it is obvious this chair is in very bad condition. Our first plan of action is to meet with the client and discuss the amount of restoration they would like performed. In this case the client wanted the chair totally restored.   In this photo you can see the side of the chair and that much of the carving are missing, our job is to duplicate the original carvings.
 
 
All the chair parts are disassembled, laid out and labeled so that nothing gets misplaced.   The metal parts, each is removed and examined to determine the extent of repair is necessary and then prepared for plating. In this case they were chrome plated.
 
The metal base and the chair seat post holder. Again the rust is removed and prepared for the chrome plating. The finished Barber Chair, upholstered with the original type of leather, the wood carvings have been made and applied, the complete wood sections have been refinished. The chrome plated parts speak for themselves.

The client was extremely pleased.
