Underneath history

The Before

 I'm quite curious (what, who, where, when prompted this to take place??)  when I see "The Before" of a makeover - whatever that may be (a room, a person etc).

In this case it's a Danish chair, circa 1940, from Danish Teak Classics. The character of the wood and the fabric, both worn and full of perfect imperfections, doesn't completely share with the viewer all of the details of it's previous history. Wouldn't you love it if such a piece could talk?

H Nielsen Slajelse??

Danish Teak stripped my chair down to it's raw skeleton, where they found a name? scrawled across the wooden seat. Oh!, to know the significance, the connection from one person who touched it to the next throughout the Danish chair's history..... It's really all so curious.

Now that the wood has been refinished and the new fabric chosen, it's going to be transformed into a piece that will not, on the surface, give any viewer an idea of what previous life it's had. Only those that have had a hand in it's creation and transformation will have an inkling of the stories it can tell to those who will listen.....
