Chairs
Traditionally, the fabrication of chairs would have been subject to a division of labour between the cabinet maker and the upholsterer. From the hands of the cabinet maker, a chair would be passed onto an upholsterer, or equivalent chair seater of cane, rush or cord. This pattern has continued until the present day. Lazarus Restoration however, is able to combine the work of these traditionally separate trades, providing a convenient one-stop repair shop to it`s customers, covering all aspects of chair repair.
