'Bobble' Chair.
Having gone to my sister & brother-in-laws straight from Church yesterday, as I made my way into the dining room I saw the pretty little 'Bobble' chair was in there. I have always been covetous of this. My sister picked it up in a small quaint antique shop, over twenty years ago, when we were out shopping. I commented yesterday that I hadn't seen it for a while to which she replied that she had no room for it now, and would I like it. Would I just!
I phoned a friend of mine when I got home and asked if there were any upholstery classes about, and we agreed there must be. So my project for the summer is to re-upholster this chair. I have re-upholstered before, a long time ago, but I lived in the Cotswold's then and Oxfordshire C.C were running the classes. I have not seen one advertised locally, but my friend is very 'arty - crafty' and she thinks maybe I won't need a class with her help. Yes please, I can't wait to start it!
'Bobble' chairs were very popular during early Victorian times and had a 'resurgence' sometime later in the mid 1930's. I shall try and find out more about them and no doubt chart it's refurbishment progress!
