AN EXOTIC MIX OF DAZZLING COLOURS IN THE TROPICS

Cliftonville in Margate is quickly becoming a Mecca for vintage seekers. Voted the 8 th best place to live in the world by Time Out Magazine 2023. It is full of fabulous finds in old sheds and rundown vintage shops. These two were in perfect condition and just had some water stains but the solid structure of hardwood and strong wingback needed very little work after their stay in a shed for over 50 years

Next was the fabric for covering. I had found this incredible Birds of Paradise print in black version and a white background version as well in a luxury interior shop near a great cathedral in the Centre of Paris. I knew immediately it was the perfect synergy for my 1930 s chairs.
it literally just went onto the chair like magic as if it was meant to be. The front and arms were in the black background so I I decided to go for it. To do the sides and back in white contrast background

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A pair of restored Victorian chairs

Title : Birds of Paradise
Fabric : black version on front and arms / white contrast version on back/sides
Content : 100 percent cotton upholstery fabric

Contrast white version of print on sides and back

This pair of absolute stunners would be a knockout in a classic or traditional setting like my victorian sitting room. Imagine in a conservatory with lots of plants and light. I’m getting carried away.
