Transformation of the typical french “granny chair”
This is the typical Granny chair here but with a beautyfull fabric and nice finishes these antique chairs can still look sooo good.
What we call “fauteuil voltaire is a Louis Philippe’s style seat. Really comfy with its high back.
This Voltaire is special:
This Voltaire has a back you can move down (a little) with a metalic mechanism under the arms.
It also mean you need you you can very easily disassemble it.
Traditional work
My apprentice did most of the padding job, and a big part of the covering on this project. I think she did great with it.
Misia velvet
Yes we’re using a fantastic velvet fabric ! This one is by a french luxury brand name Misia @misia_paris )
With this winter evening light you can’t even realise how gorgeous it is in real life (and it’s soooo soft !!!! đ„°).
Big nails for finish
I just love to use this 14 mm nails on this kind of big antique chairs like”Voltaire”.
Now I wil make a box cushion for benches and I’ll try to take the time to make you another tutorial with it ;).
