A settee from your grandparents’ front room, or couches handed down from your mother. When the fabric gives up on a piece like that, you want it back looking right, and you worry that whoever touches it will ruin it. That worry is fair. Phindile Ntombi Bam felt the same about a parent’s couches before we revamped them: > I was very scared to let anyone fix them because I didn’t think they’d meet my expectations but they’ve exceeded! > > Phindile Ntombi Bam, Google review ## Your price comes from your photos You don’t wait for a visit to get a price. WhatsApp photos of the piece and tell us what’s wrong, and Kwanele quotes you from those. We first see your settee in person on collection day, when we bring our fabric and leather samples to your home in Pretoria and you choose. After that: - we collect it and strip the old upholstery at our workshop on Vundla Street in Jabavu, Soweto - we fix loose joints before anything is covered, and if the old fabric was hiding an earlier repair or a cracked rail, we show you a photo before we touch it - we re-cover it, adding buttoning or piping where the piece calls for it - we bring it back and set it where it stood ## Your piece, your brief Felencia Clark gave us her own instructions and wrote: “Told them how I wanted my couch and I am highly impressed”. Tell us yours. A plain velvet lets the carved wood lead. A bold colour, like the turquoise on the settee in the before-and-after above, turns an old piece into the loudest thing in your lounge. A floral print leans into the period look. Antiques are priced one at a time, from your photos. Read [antique settee restoration](/services/antique-settee-restoration/) for each step. Then WhatsApp 074 019 9297 with photos of the whole piece, the carving and the worst of the damage. ## Questions we get asked ### Do you collect in Pretoria? Yes. We collect anywhere in Gauteng, including Pretoria. WhatsApp a photo to 074 019 9297 and we'll quote you and book a collection day. ### Will restoring my antique settee lose the carving? No. The carved frame stays and we work around it. We fix loose joints first, then re-cover. The settee above went from torn fabric to turquoise velvet with deep buttoning.
