<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Debora, post: 7758581, member: 1476&quot;]Not a fabric expert so unable to give you an informed opinion re upholstery.&nbsp; If it were mine, I&#039;d consider 1) fabric weight &amp; wear, 2) color scheme of room where it will sit, 3) fabrics appropriate/true to period.&nbsp; Because it&#039;s such a dainty chair, you certainly don&#039;t want anything that will overwhelm it like an overscale print or colors that overwhelm the wood tone.&nbsp; I&#039;d avoid local fabric stores and look for a source that sells &quot;the the trade&quot; remnants or buy yardage on eBay, etc.&nbsp; And I&#039;d do some research to see what type of passementerie is appropriate for period.&nbsp; I would avoid Regency stripes and brocades as I think they&#039;re cliches.&nbsp; And do think an overall print would be more unifying for the horizontal back and vertical seat than&nbsp; a stripe.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an example of an upholstery that I think doesn&#039;t work.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t work with the playfulness of the chair, back comes across as too mingy and that thrusting stripe on seat is a bit rude.&nbsp; Anyway...&nbsp; just my thoughts for what they&#039;re worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]424144[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
