Franklin and Hare

Rich has upholstered many chairs, sofas and chaise lounges for myself and my customers over the years. Rich is knowledgeable, reliable and highly skilled and has often gone out of his way to help. Hannah and Rich together make the perfect team of talented antique dealers and traditional upholsterers: professional and approachable. I have no hesitation in recommending Franklin and Hare.

Amazing range. Rich is an expert in his field, a master upholsterer but on the antiques side always looking for those contemporary and quirky pieces. I often think that I’d end up broke every time I visit or see an Instagram post as I could literally buy everything! The true meaning of a local family business, much like our own 😊

This is a great antique shop with frequently new stock, it’s always a pleasure to visit to see what new gems are available. Rich has also done an amazing job at reupholstering a vintage style chair for me that was desperately in need of his great work.

We had a bespoke Ottoman made by Franklin and Hare. Great service, beautifully made and exactly as we asked. Good value and communication. Would definitely recommend.

Great shop with lots of really nice regularly stocked antiques. Really high quality upholstery, and great communication from Rich!

Great family buisiness, I had been looking for ages for a bespoke peice of furniture for my office. Not only did they source what I wanted, they also recovered it in the fabric I wanted. A fully customised piece of furniture. I don’t anywhere else I could get this done locally.

A pleasure to deal with and a superb reupholstery of two much loved armchairs.

Great upholsterer, lots of lovely antiques, regularly restocked.
