A good frame doesn't care what decade it's wearing. This Regency armchair came home from auction with a beautiful carved eagle and a seat that had completely given up. I found the verdure tapestry at a little fabric shop in North Raleigh, and Alaina at Junk N Java & Upholstery by Alaina brought the whole thing back to life, right down to a matching bolster. It's staying with me, beside my mahogany secretary. If you have a piece worth saving, she's the one to see — and she's a fellow vendor of mine at Rustique Antiques in Sanford.
