Upholstering an antique requires understanding the period in which the piece was made.   EHU consults with the customer to determine how authentically they wish to do the job,  balancing historical accuracy with budget.   
 We specialize in:

• Non-invasive or minimally-invasive techniques, such as mummification of frame with cotton strips
  
• Reversible glues for frame repairs
  
• Stitched edge 
  
• Horsehair squabs (a cushion or mattress shaped for a particular seat)
  
• Specific to 18th c: taped edges and marsh grass edge rolls.
