My name is Rachel Sharp
As The Chair Doctor, I reupholster and refurbish antique or vintage mid century chairs transforming them into statement accent pieces through a love of both modern and traditional upholstery. This can be by upholstering pieces I have sourced myself or through commissions.
​
I offer sales of finished upcycled, reupholstered, chairs but also offer a high quality reupholstering service for customer owned pieces as commissions.
​
My customers appreciate good quality and understand the value and time involved in the craft.
