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.
Typical upholstery tools requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a manual or electric staple gun and remover for recovering chair seats at home
- Clinics, salons, spas and gyms: tools for maintenance teams recovering treatment beds, salon and gym benches
- Churches, schools and halls: staple guns and removers for recovering church pew cushions and hall chairs in bulk
