This lovely Georgian mahogany carver chair had been in the client's family for the past 110 years, within this time the legs had been shortened to just below the stretchers. Timothy Warr was asked if he could extend all four legs so the chair would sit at its original height.
Using Georgian mahogany with the same grain the four legs were shaped by hand and blended in, a base colour was then applied and the colour built up on top to match the original. Finally the chair was wax finished and ready to have the upholstery rebuilt.
