Nowadays, these old upholstery designs are still in fashion and mostly used on furniture.
Should I be interested in learning this technique if I am a car trimmer?
Of course, it is important to consider it in our training/learning list.
In the 19th century the first automobiles were invented and this technique was adapted to upholster in leather the seats and other parts. Naturally, the original tufted diamonds were padded/filled with horse hair and natural cotton. As time passed by, synthetic materials such as foam, industrial cotton, glues, etc. appeared in the market and upholsterers started to use these new materials in their jobs.
Currently, there are antique car collectors who pay well to get their car interiors restored. These collectors should resort to a motor coach trimmer or specialist to tackle these upholstery patterns. Some of these car collectibles can be replicated as originals by using the original materials as mentioned lines above, horse hair, etc. Other collectors want siynthetic materials.
The knowing of this technique has helped me to make a small bench seat for my shop. Besides, it is a training to be ready if a car collector calls me out.
I hope you find some enjoyment and inspiration in this video!
