[QUOTE="Poisonivy, post: 236710, member: 2417"][ATTACH=full]71812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]71813[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]71814[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]71815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]71816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]71817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]71818[/ATTACH] Hi all, I thought I would show you all my Victorian chair. I bought it in 2001 for £100 and when I bought it it had been professionally refurbished with some Victorian wool work in browns and greens that I didn't like much. I stripped the pieces off and sold them for £45. I then refurbished it with the Victorian wool/plush work (which I still love) and the modern blue velvet which was all I had at the time shown in the first photo. I decided a few days ago it was time to spruce it up. I stripped it down again and refurbished it with some lovely Victorian velvet in black (had that for years in the cupboard). The braid I used isn't Victorian but it isn't new and it goes really well. The bottom photo is the finished chair. It was hard work but I think worth the effort. Hope you all like it :)[/QUOTE]
