Fenix Carriages Dress Coach
Upholstery Restoration
Fenix Carriages approached Humphries Weaving with an original horsehair cushion and asked to replicate the fabric for the restoration of a dress coach.
The scale and design were important and we were able to redraw the pattern from sections of the original material.
We wove a silk and linen brocatelle fabric which was colour matched to sit between the original honey colour and more muted faded colour. The interior only required a short run of fabric and we were able to weave this with stock warp and wefts to great effect.
