What to know locally in Kimberley
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.
Upholstery work 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 leather couch repairs around Kimberley, most often first:
- Homeowners and tenants: a faded or cracked leather lounge suite, a scratched recliner or a worn Chesterfield
- Churches, schools and halls: leather chairs in a council chamber or a school boardroom recoloured and restitched
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: leather couches in dealership showrooms and waiting areas cleaned and recoloured
