Kimberley notes on vehicles, boats & commercial
Farm bakkies from around Ritchie and Barkly West come in with sun-cracked seats and need canvas covers. Government offices, the hospital and clinics send office chairs and treatment couches for recovering. Guesthouses in the old suburbs ask for dining chairs and lounge seating to suit the period of the house, and churches in Galeshewe need padded chairs and pew cushions recovered.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Kimberley
Kimberley's diamond rush left behind a town of old houses, and their furniture is the most interesting upholstery work for many kilometres. Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia and Beaconsfield, with corrugated iron roofs and wide stoeps, still hold horsehair-stuffed armchairs, button-back chaises and dining sets on ball and claw feet that need careful restoration rather than a quick recover. Hadison Park and the newer suburbs bring lounge suites and headboards, Galeshewe and Roodepan have home upholsterers recovering couches, and farms out towards Ritchie and Barkly West send bakkie seats and stoep benches. Workshops are few, so fabric and foam often come from Bloemfontein or Johannesburg. The dry heat and dust are hard on leather and fabric.
Who asks for boat upholstery around Kimberley, most often first:
- Homeowners and tenants: a family ski boat kept on the dam with sun-cracked seats and soggy foam
- Offices and businesses: company boats and yachts used for client days, with cockpit cushions due for renewal
- Churches, schools and halls: club, school rowing and municipal patrol boats with worn and torn vinyl seats
