Traditional Upholstery
Preserving the Craft the Right Way
Traditional upholstery is an art form — one that requires patience, precision, and a deep respect for how furniture was originally built. At Blair’s Custom Upholstery, we specialize in restoring pieces using the same time-honored methods craftsmen relied on generations ago. These skills are rare today, but they’re the foundation of our family’s legacy.
Authentic Techniques That Outlast Trends
Hand-Tied Springs
Hand-tied coil springs for a resilient, long-lasting foundation.
Natural Fillings
Horsehair and natural fillings for authentic comfort and structure.
Stitched Precision
Stitched edges and layered padding that shape and support the piece.
Period Materials
Period-correct materials to preserve historical accuracy.
Restoring Heirlooms and Period Pieces
Traditional upholstery is essential when working with antiques, museum-worthy pieces, and family heirlooms. Our craftsmen understand how to restore these items without compromising their character or value. Every element is rebuilt with care to maintain the integrity of the original design.
Whether your piece is Victorian, Edwardian, Mid-Century, or a unique period style, we bring it back to life with accuracy and respect.
A Legacy You Can Trust
With three generations of experience, Blair’s Custom Upholstery is one of the few shops in the region that still performs genuine traditional upholstery. For clients who want their pieces done right — not just redone — we provide a level of care and skill that honors the history behind every chair, sofa, and settee.
