Vintique Upholstery French Street, Sunbury-on-thames TW16 5JY

"We have now worked with Sharon over the last 4 years on 6 items of furniture, all but one of which are much treasured family pieces. Which are now beautifully restored and enjoyed by us daily, apart from the blue rocking horse which is at Grandma's! As we are in Southampton each time we have had video calls, used photos and measurements to work out what needed to be done and to choose some fantastic fabric! Sharon is very thoughtful, listens to ideas and helps formulate a vision of the finished piece. We have found the process fun and enjoyed researching material and accessories as well as sourcing some ourselves. Thank you Sharon, now to get the next lot of chairs to you....Xx"

"If I had to review Vintique in just one word it would be 'WOW' What an experience! Working with Sharon has been an absolute pleasure. When I was gifted a 50 year old chair from my Nana I knew I didn't want any old upholsterer working on it. I wanted someone who shared my values and enthusiasm. Sharon's crusade against furniture going to landfill and her ability to see the potential in even the most dilapidated furniture made me feel I had to get in touch. From the very first consultation where Sharon asked me about the use the chair would get, what the room and light would be like, I knew that working with her was going to be a wonderful investment. The process felt so smooth - Sharon sent me around 15 fabric samples to choose from. All of them matching something we'd discussed in the consultation - whether it was colour, pattern, fabric etc. When I got stuck between 2 designs I loved equally, Sharon helped me narrow it down to the final fabric. She's a wealth of knowledge and reminded me of things I hadn't considered like what fabric I wanted for the buttons and piping. She even sourced a special paint which uses a new technique to get just the right look on the tips of the legs. The chair is now the pride and joy of my living room, it feels entirely new and everyone comments on how unique it is. I would wholeheartedly recommend Vintique for any upholstery you need."

"We had a chair and a footstool recently re-covered. The fabric recommendation was perfect and we worked together to create the richness of colour by using the velvet pile direction to its best effect. The whole process was efficient and painless and we are very happy with our 'pop of colour' orange velvet items."

"Sharon has done a wonderful job reupholstering and rejuvenating my dark brown leather Duresta sofas. She was patient, kind and helpful talking me through what would suit my room, advising on type of fabrics and sent me masses of beautiful samples. It was really difficult to choose but she nursed me through and created two stunning sofas covered in gorgeous Linwood printed velvet fabric. They are light, bright, modern and look brand new. I am thrilled with them and very grateful for her inspiration, creativity and craftsmanship. She is simply brilliant. I could not recommend her more highly."
