Patrick Furniture

Patrick Rannigan is a professional. I had had him do many projects in the past including some difficult ones such as a Sheraton sofa done in leather and an antique chaise lounge and a variety of chairs. I hadn't had anything reupholstered recently. I called to see if he was still doing upholstery as I knew he had moved. He is. My chairs are much loved and much used. He had done the last reupolstery but I had not chosen a fabric to withstand human and canine traffic. This time I chose a sturdier monochrome silk velvet damask. So although one color, the pattern cut into the velvet had to be matched. The chairs have self cording around the top and double cording around the bottom. At first Patrick felt he needed a thinner velvet or the cording would look too bulky. He went ahead with the same fabric and due to a change in a scheduled project the chairs were done in less than 2 weeks. They are perfect. The things I was concerned about, matching of the damask pattern on the back and seat and from one chair to the next were exactly right. Things that I had not thought about like the direction of the nap of the velvet were explained to me and done properly. Patrick has been doing upholstery in Charlottesville for many years including work for Keswick, Monticello, Ash Lawn, etc. and regular homeowners like me who want great work and attention to detail. The great thing is the Patrick is a nice, honest guy. You can read the historic sites he's worked with but his fees are very reasonable and he has no attitude, just pride in a job done right.
