| The broken chair in pieces |
|---|
 |
| Is this chair a piece of junk or a hidden treasure? Well, to move it from the former category to the latter requires meticulous and professional know-how. Pierre's aim is to conserve as much of the original as possible. A missing leg is recreated. A broken leg is reinforced with a metal rod through its length. Loose joints are re-glued. Old dowels are stripped and re-glued. The inner frame is rebuilt to have the strength to take the upholstering staples. |
