Tomlinsons, the supplier of antique furniture in Tockwith, York, is launching a new bespoke upholstery range that is produced entirely by hand using techniques and natural materials of bygone eras.
The top-quality range, to be unveiled on September 17 includes authentic designs from the Georgian and Victorian periods, harking back to a time when Britain was synonymous with true craftsmanship.
Each sofa is hand-built and tailored to individual needs using horsehair and duck down, while sofa frames will be made from kiln-dried hardwoods such as beech, and traditional assembly methods entailing glue, screws and dowelled joints ensure the frames are guaranteed for 15 years.
