Restoration
To the right is an Inlaid tub chair showing the enormous amount of work & many stages a chair goes through when being professionally restored. A chair is the most time consuming of all the types of furniture that needs restoring & the only thing that was wrong with this chair was that it needed re-gluing as with all antique chairs the animal glue they used at the time has become loose due to constant use & constant temperature changes. The chair illustrated is by W.J. Neatby. Circa 1900.
