The chair had been previously redone, and this is how it looked when we got it.

A bit hard to tell here, but the back was bowed outwards due to worn webbing from the back springs.

The bottom had been doubled-up to help stiffen it without actually repairing it (by a previous upholsterer). All of this was removed, and new webbing was installed.

Under the top layer, and some added padding, we found the original fabric, which was a thin printed material almost like a silk.

The seat had a remnant of a bright yellow tag, but we don't know what company made this chair.
Original fabric removed, and some of the worn horsehair "rough covers" removed (to be replaced):

Deck and front roll removed. The spring ties were still in very good shape, so we only had to redo the webbing. Sadly I forgot to take a photo of that step.

New burlap on the deck, and reattached/re-stitched edge roll:

The finished upholstery (a nice red toile) being applied. You can see the rest of the rough covers.

Here's the finished chair. I should note that this wing chair has a lovely high quality down seat cushion.
