Traditional Upholstery is an art form

Speaking with new and seasoned upholsterers alike the topic of traditional upholstery usually arrises.   Do you reuse the horse hair?  What is this stuff that looks like hay?  Yuk, it is so dirty. Who would want this in their furniture?  That is how the conversation usually begins.  But the real intrigue lies in the process, the hand stitching and the beauty you cover up and no one ever sees. Not to mention the hours and hours it takes to produce a perfectly sculptured traditionally upholstered piece.
