Irish Stitch for Upholstery 

Colorful and durable, chair seats worked in Irish stitch were fashionable 18th century alternatives to wool or silk upholstery. You can enjoy them as well; we make one-of-a-kind pieces as well as matching sets. In addition to balloon & trapezoidal shaped slip seats, we can provide you with upholstery for larger pieces of period or reproduction furniture such as easy chairs or sofas.
