What to know locally in Pietermaritzburg
Fabric shops in the city centre and the Church Street area sell upholstery fabric by the metre, and foam is cut locally or brought up from Durban for bigger orders. Ask for hessian, jute webbing and coil spring twine if you are restoring an old chair the traditional way. Upholstery cleaners work across the city and the Midlands, and hire shops rent extraction machines for a weekend clean of lounge suites and car seats.
Pietermaritzburg: the homes, the climate and the workshops
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.
The requests we see from Pietermaritzburg usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: new scatter cushion covers and couch seat covers to refresh a lounge without recovering
- Churches, schools and halls: hard-wearing covers for church pew cushions and school library seating
- Offices and businesses: durable covers for reception couch cushions and breakaway room seating
