For those who follow the blog, you surly have found several postings about our Swedish distributors Annika and Leif Arvidsson form Lages AB. As upholsterers they work for antiques dealers, museums and whom ever wishes to have their chairs done by expert hands. Earlier this year we worked with them on a large set of Baroque chairs.

Obviously this is a more elaborated sort of Baroque. The Chairs have been upholstered with a design form our collection the "Abondance".

Annika & Leif have upholstered a set of chairs for the Hallwyl museum Stockholm http://hallwylskamuseet.se/en we made the reproductions of the leather they needed using the original embossing plate owned by the museum. Swedish television made a reportage about the story and the upholstery work done in the studios of Lages AB. But at first, Annika shows how patiently she makes her own Gilt Leather.....
