The Sophia Chair

This gorgeous boudoir chair has been very popular on Etsy and has been featured in over ten different venues so far!  This is the journey of this chair from humble beginning to fabulous end...

I found this chair at a garage sale in my town, it was very neglected with the welting peeling off and a dreadful fabric covering it.  The wood was a dingy grey and gold.

After a thorough scrubbing the beautiful original finish came through in a stunning heavy cream and gold.  The original upholstery was kept on the seat and the back to provide extra durability.  It was covered with a shantung silk in a beautiful peachy pink and tufted to the original design.  

The armrests were redone and replaced and then the back was put on, closing her up.  The double welt on this piece is all custom and I think took longer than the rest of the chair put together!

Now this abandoned boudoir chair is an unbelievable show-stopping beauty that will add an incredible grace to wherever she ends up.
