Upholstery Supplies
"Traditional upholstery has undergone something of a renaissance during the last twenty years. Whereas prior to this time to 'reupholster' a period piece generally meant tearing off all the original upholstery, burning it as useless, and reupholstering as the individual upholster saw fit, there is now a welcome resurgence of interest in and informed restoration of pieces, sympathetic to there period characteristics." (David James, Upholstery Restoration)
