Textiles Restoration
Specialist textile and upholstery restoration, including traditional upholstery, needlework, needle point coverings, tapestry work, leather repair and rug repairs.
Charles Perry Restorations provides specialist restoration services for textiles, upholstery and historic furnishings. From traditional upholstery and decorative needlework to leather repair, tapestry work and rugs, each item is approached with care, restraint and respect for its original character.
Whether stabilising fragile historic fabrics or restoring seating structures for continued use, our aim is to preserve authenticity while supporting long-term durability. Appropriate materials and traditional techniques are used wherever possible, with each project assessed individually before work begins.
Traditional Techniques
Textile and upholstery restoration requires an understanding of both structure and surface. Antique seating, historic coverings and decorative textiles often combine fragile materials with years of use, wear and previous repair, so every treatment must be carefully considered.
Our work may involve rebuilding or supporting upholstery structures, conserving needlework and tapestry, repairing leather, or restoring cane, rush and textile elements where appropriate. The goal is always to retain as much original character as possible while improving stability, appearance and usability.
Textiles Restoration Services
Our textile restoration work includes traditional upholstery, needlework, needle point coverings, tapestry work, leather repair and rug repairs. Each area requires a different balance of conservation judgement, practical skill and sensitivity to the age and use of the item.
From a single chair or leather panel to decorative coverings, tapestries and rugs, we provide considered restoration that protects historic value while allowing pieces to be displayed, enjoyed or used with confidence.
