Early Upholstery Seating

Product Description

Watch a feature about our restoration expert, Leroy Graves, on CBS Sunday Morning.

Leading Colonial Williamsburg conservator Leroy Graves has changed the way collectors and museums regard historic upholstery. Little upholstery from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries survived in America as rooms were redecorated or fabrics fell out of style. In Early Seating Upholstery: Reading the Evidence, Graves analyzes existing samples along with period documents and images to illuminate the aesthetics and techniques of early upholsterers.
