What to know locally in Pietermaritzburg
Old houses in Scottsville, Clarendon and Wembley often hold antique pieces: Victorian button-back chairs, riempie benches, ball and claw dining chairs and imbuia sideboards with upholstered seats. These usually need frame work, regluing and woodworm treatment along with new covers, so ask for a restoration quote, not just fabric. In Northdale, Imbali and Edendale, lounge suites and headboards are recovered to keep a good frame, and students near the Scottsville campus often want cheap couch repairs.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Pietermaritzburg
Red brick Victorian and Edwardian houses give Pietermaritzburg a stock of old furniture that most cities have long lost. Wingbacks, button-back chairs, riempie benches and ball and claw dining sets turn up in homes in Scottsville, Clarendon, Wembley and Hayfields, and restoring them often means regluing joints and treating woodworm before any fabric goes on. As the provincial capital, the city also sends government office chairs, school hall seating and church pews for recovering, while the Midlands towns of Hilton and Howick bring guesthouse lounges and farmhouse furniture. Upholsterers work from Mkondeni, Willowton and home workshops in Edendale and Northdale. Hot, humid summers and cold, misty winters both test foam and leather.
