BESPOKE COMMISSIONS
I offer a Bespoke Commission Service sourcing or utilising customers own antique pieces of furniture. They are reupholstered using traditional, hand craft techniques by my regular upholsterers, Chandler & Peacock. I use materials from my collection of needlepoint tapestries and upholstery fabrics or can source additional fabrics upon customers requests.
