Step inside a world of wonder with our place to visit this month

MCDONALD AND HARTSHORNE

03 371 7500 | qualityfurniture.co.nz

Upholstery specialists McDonald and Hartshorne, have a passion for their craft. This dedicated team of craftspeople recently took on a job to restore a lounge suite that was purchased by their clients’ parents as a wedding present to themselves back in 1959. The classic mid-century construction of the suite had stood the test of time, but after decades of wear, it was in need of reupholstery.

The original colour of the lounge suite was red, but as fashions changed it was re-covered in a textured orange fabric and then reupholstered again about 20 years ago in blue.

The McDonald and Hartshorne team arranged for the woodwork to be restored by Seatons French Polishers. The fabric used was Barabadur Summer Linen, by Voyage, supplied by Warwick Fabrics.

This beautiful lounge suite has given comfort to five generations of one family, and after this superb restoration, it will take pride of place in their home once again.
