Re-upholsterer for Old Settee
I have a heavy, old ( 1910-1920) flat back, roll arm settee that was purchased at the 1966 contents auction of the soon to be demolished Hotel Astor ( Times Square area ). It needs to be refreshed. (Unfortunately, it was first recovered in the late 60's). It also needs repair to one of its wooden legs, which is begining to split. I am not sure of the exact style but have seen similar ones on the antiques roadshow. ( Imperial, possibly?) Does anyone know of a reputable reupholsterer in the Bay Ridge up through Park Slope area. The gentleman our family used for many years is now deceased. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry no photo , it's in storage.

Vintage Coffee Table for Sale
I'm selling a vintage coffee table for $250 or best offer. It's got rich brown wood with a leather surface and some nice carving and details (I'm having trouble posting a pic, but will email you some if you think you might want to buy it). The brand is Weiman Heirloom, and I think it's from the 1940s. It's got some dings and nicks, but is basically in good condition for a vintage piece. The dimensions are 50" x 22" x 16". You must be able to pick it up. If interested, email me at mbass2231@yahoo.com
