Kimberley notes on furniture reupholstery
Old houses in Belgravia and Beaconsfield hold antique chairs with horsehair or coir stuffing, sprung seats and tacked covers, and the right upholsterer will rebuild them the traditional way. Dining sets with ball and claw feet often need regluing and refinishing as well. In Hadison Park the job is a modern lounge suite or a headboard, and in Galeshewe and Roodepan home upholsterers recover couches with new foam.
Kimberley: the homes, the climate and the workshops
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.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: the family lounge suite recovered in a tough, pet-friendly fabric with new seat foam
- Offices and businesses: reception and staff room couches recovered in a contract-grade fabric with firm seats
- Churches, schools and halls: church hall and community centre couches recovered for meetings and functions
