Authored by George Frederick Tredwell, this book provides a thorough exploration of the fundamental techniques, tools, and materials required for upholstering furniture, making it an invaluable resource for both classroom instruction and self-guided learning. The text covers a wide range of topics, including the history and development of upholstery, the selection and use of essential tools, and the properties of various materials such as webbing, springs, stuffing, and fabrics.

The book emphasizes practical skills, safety, and the importance of careful workmanship, with detailed illustrations and diagrams to clarify each stage of the process. Special attention is given to common types of furniture, such as chairs, sofas, and stools, with specific projects and exercises designed to build confidence and competence. In addition to technical instruction, Furniture Upholstery for Schools also addresses the aesthetic aspects of upholstery, including fabric selection, color coordination, and decorative finishing techniques like buttoning, piping, and trimming. The book encourages creativity and problem-solving, making it suitable for students pursuing vocational training, hobbyists, and anyone interested in restoring or creating upholstered furniture. With its clear language, logical organization, and practical focus, Furniture Upholstery for Schools remains a timeless guide for learning the essential skills of upholstery, fostering both craftsmanship and appreciation for the trade.
