Antique seating, with its uniqueness and surface detailing, provides added character and style to an existing décor, or even shapes how a room is furnished or deco- rated. This is the philosophy of The Sitting Place. The Sitting Place specialises in quality antique seating furniture from the 1800s and early 1900s. High standard traditional upholstering is combined with carefully chosen luxury designer fabrics that comple- ment the period and style of every item of antique seating furniture.
