Chair Reproduction
The pictures represent the additional chairs that the customers wanted to increase their number of chairs in their dining set. They were reversed engineered from the original and meticulously reproduced from the same species of wood and the finished was matched to the original. Both sets of chairs were drawn up in a 3D model and cut out on a CNC machine. The cane chairs were machine caned to match the original. Both sets were finished in nitrocellulose lacquer to match the original. Both sets were reupholstered. The Queen Anne chairs were upholstered with the customer's Grandmother's needle point which was blocked and put on in the traditional manner. I am able to do any type of upholstery, including six way coil springs and double stuffing that is found in antiques. The most satisfying part of the job was hearing the customers say, which one in the original and which one did you make.

Michael Gilley
Gilley Furniture Shop
I am the sole owner and employee of Gilley Furniture Shop. This way I am able to guarantee my work. I am able to make reproductions from pictures and drawings. Most of my projects are made with machinery including CNC carving and cutting. Hand work is performed where necessary to enhance the project.
Projects may be ordered finished or unfinished. You may provide a color sample you wish to, or request a sample be made and sent to you which will be made at an additional cost for processing and shipping.
Finishing is performed using top quality nitrocellulose lacquer, stains and glazes. I can offer gloss, satin, dull and rubbed finishes. Distressed finishes are available including marks and specks, dents, gouges, and termites. Other types include gold leafing crackle, white wash and oil. If you require a special finish, please inquire.
I am in business to provide a product that hopefully exceeds your expectations while making a profit. My prices are not cheap but neither is the quality of my work.
