Abstract
The restoration of vintage armchairs is an essential aspect of preserving furniture heritage and craftsmanship. This paper explores the role of traditional upholstery techniques in restoring antique seating furniture, emphasizing their cultural, functional, and aesthetic value. The study highlights methods such as hand-tied springs, natural stuffing, and traditional stitching, which have been used for centuries to maintain durability and comfort. By examining historical craftsmanship alongside modern restoration practices, this research underscores the importance of sustaining artisanal knowledge to ensure authenticity and sustainability. Furthermore, the work discusses challenges faced in sourcing authentic materials and integrating conservation ethics with practical restoration needs.
