    This one is before. The springs were every which way, huge rodent nest in the stuffing and the frame was falling apart.
    Still have some stuffing on the edges to remove, but easy to see how gross it was in the beginning.

    OLW I'm not sure what it's called. Generally I think of chairs made in that shape as being photography chairs. However, most I've had were made of wicker. They were designed in that manner to allow a lady with big skirts to sit for portraits.
    My customer called it a corner chair. It had wonderful wood features. I loved the heads on the arms. IMHO it was certainly worth saving.
    She brought me 3 more when she picked this one up. One of them is goiing to be quite regal when I get it done. I wouldn't mind if it fell thru the crack and ended up in my house! LOL
    I do this professionally and after 20 some odd years I don't get excited about a piece very often, but I loved the one in the pic so thought I'd share.
    Thank you for the nice comments!
