Telephone Table

Another great piece rescued from the auction room. £90 bought this beautiful old telephone table.

What really caught our eye was the studding detail. Next step was to take this piece into the workroom. Time for a new lease of life.

You have to be cruel to be kind. After stripping back to the frame, the old foam inners look about ready for replacement.

The end result. A real transformation which anyone can achieve. Combine an interesting family heirloom or antique shop find with a professional Plumbs re-upholstery transformation. The end result...
