I took on this lovely plum velvet couch as an upholstery project with a friend, who is a trained upholsterer. We have fully stripped out the bottom section of it, put in new webbing, re-sewn the springs in, strung the springs together, sewn them to the hessian layer and woven in a lot of coir. We also filled in all the old nail holes with wood filler.


What's left is adding in another bag of coir, securing the hessian and wadding and securing it. I already have the wadding, which will come with the couch.


There is rattan on the arms, which is damaged on both sides. I have been given a quote of ?150 to get it repaired, as I wouldn't have been able to do it myself.


There is also a small tear on the left hand side of the back of the couch (see photo).


The arms of the couch have some lovely carving on the top and the feet are curved, with some scuffing to the bottom (see photo).


Colour-wise, the second photo (where you can see the full couch and the hessian below) is the accurate colour.


Unfortunately, circumstances for both me and my friend have changed recently and I need to pass the couch on to someone who has space to finish the job. The back of the couch and the cushions are in very good condition, as is the velvet - it was just the webbing had gone underneath.


This is obviously an offer for an upholsterer, an upholsterer-in-training, or someone who wants to try and finish it. Once it's done it will be a beautiful couch and, if you choose to sell it, should make a good price.


If you any questions, feel free to get in touch.

      I'm still unclear, are we talking about wood pigeons or the descended rock doves (the Trafalgar Square pigeons). I hear wood pigeons a lot and one pair has nested in my garden this year, but I rarely see rock doves at all, and haven't for many years.

      Another shout out for my cleaner! I can highly recommend Solange. She is hard working and so lovely to have around the house!  She currently has some available slot! You contact her on 07778 736172 for more information. I’m happy to answer any question if you DM me. Thanks! T
