Indianapolis · Custom Upholstering Since 1955

Furniture worth
keeping.

Custom upholstery, furniture reconstruction, and slipcovers — quietly practiced in Indianapolis since 1955. From a simple pillow to a museum-class antique, every piece is completely refurbished by hand.

70+ Years of Practice

One Indianapolis workroom, continuously since 1955.

3 Disciplines

Upholstery. Reconstruction. Slipcovers. Under one roof.

Range of Work

A simple pillow to museum-class antique furniture.

What We Do

Three disciplines, one workroom.

Each piece is completely refurbished. As it comes into the workroom, we inspect and evaluate it for whatever is needed to make it a unique piece of furniture.

1.

Custom Upholstery

The backbone of what we do. From a simple pillow to a museum-class antique, our well-staffed upholstery department handles it without flinching.

2.

Furniture Reconstruction

The fabric comes off, the frame is inspected, structural work gets done — before a single yard of new fabric is cut.

3.

Slipcovers

Tailored to the actual piece — never a stretchy cover-up. Cut from your fabric, ours, or a sample book in the showroom.

The Showroom

A working room with sample books, not a retail floor.

The showroom is stocked with sample books from major manufacturers — and we work with your own materials, too.

If you're a design professional, you know what a quality workroom is worth. We'd like to be that workroom for your residential and commercial work.

Why reupholster

Restore the piece you already love.

Reupholstering is the smart alternative to spending more on lower-quality new furniture. We've built our reputation one piece at a time — by paying close attention to each one.
