Beautiful restoration. I'm glad she found you.

I would give my eye teeth for a find like that!

Very nice - Eastlake style? Good save.

Wow I work doing this all day. You did a great job!!!!!!!!

He did an awesome job. I love the fabric choice.

Lovely chair, if only she could talk and tell you her pedigree, the things she's seen, done and who sat in her, as well as the time she has lived. I love antiques...that's good because I am one!

It looks wonderful "sewred" - I wonder what her previous life was like? It's always good to know the providence of antique items. Great job on it - hope you can find a nice place in your home for her. Love Chris, Newcastle, Australia.
