Re-Upholstery & Recovering
Traditional re-upholstery restores comfort and appearance while preserving the integrity of the original frame. We carefully strip, repair, re-spring and re-cover each piece by hand, ensuring it will last for generations.
Our craft
Every piece entrusted to Theobald Upholstery is treated with care, patience, and over half a century of experience. We specialise in the restoration and creation of fine upholstered furniture — from heirlooms to contemporary commissions.
Our workshop undertakes a wide range of upholstery and restoration work using time-honoured techniques, natural materials, and the highest quality fabrics.

We design and build furniture to order — from tailored sofas and armchairs to benches and headboards. Every commission begins with the client’s vision, translated into timeless craftsmanship and refined design.
Combining deep respect for period design with traditional materials such as horsehair, hessian and webbing, we restore antique pieces to their original form and comfort while retaining their character and provenance.
Replacement interiors in feather, down or foam rejuvenate tired cushions and restore shape and comfort. We tailor fillings to the individual seat or back to achieve the perfect balance of softness and support.
We restore and strengthen furniture frames using traditional joinery methods, ensuring each piece remains sound for years to come. Loose joints, damaged rails and worn dowels are repaired or replaced with care to maintain the original integrity of the design.
Our workshop continues to provide bespoke upholstery and restoration for public buildings, Livery Halls, heritage properties, and private institutions. We work with designers, architects, and caretakers to maintain period interiors to the highest standard.
“Traditional methods. Honest materials. Work built to last.”
