Grace your home with The Encore Collection featuring stunning antique chairs given new life using the high-quality, durable upholstery in vibrant colors and patterns. The Encore Collection is a collaboration between Stephanie Sarris of Bellehaven Designs (Hinsdale) and Maribel Weisz of Antique Resources (Chicago) revitalizing heirloom antique chairs by replacing dated upholstery with luxurious and durable modern fabrics. The chairs in the collection have all been professionally restored to ensure durability. Having been reupholstered, we saved you time and the guesswork of selecting fabrics and the associated costs. These functional works of art are ready to bring home today!

The Lake Michigan is a pair of Mid 19th Century French Régence Style Fauteuils updated with a fabric having blue tree sprigs ebbing seamlessly with the flowing frothy blue fabric that mimics our beloved Lake Michigan and gave us a good excuse to enjoy a day at the beach.

Updated with pistachio green fabrics, these exquisite Louis Phillippe Period bergères were transformed to resemble freshly cracked pistachios that will liven up any room or office.

Jackson Park in Chicago provided the perfect backdrop for this pair of mid-19th Century French Louis XVI giltwood bergères. The blooming lotus flower print added an element of chinoiserie to these French armchairs.

The gentle S-curves and naturalistic floral motifs carvings of this 18th Century French Louis XV Period fauteuil avec des courbes chair, inspired us to select a pivoine pink cotton fabric that blends with a coral fabric resembling pink encrusting Cyphastrea coral and screams “I love Pink!”

The protruding male bighorn heads pushing out of the armrests of this early 19th Century French Louis XVI walnut Bergère armchair inspired us to cover it a black bouclé textured fabric resembling shearling. Reminiscent of a varied journey, the inky, watercolor printed blots of the secondary fabric resembles hoof prints, giving this “Black Sheep” dynamism.

The “Aqua Chair”, formerly known as a cozy 18th-Century English George II Walnut Wingback was upholstered with fabrics that resembles water droplets and ripples of a stream. We wanted to create the calmness of the sea.

The blues and gold reminded us of a Mediterranean Sea, a feeling of warmth and tranquility for this exquisite pair of French Mid-19th Century Louis XV Style Bergères going by the name of Aegean Bliss.
