Louis XV Settees Slipcovers

The two Louis XV Ca. 1750 Settees needed
slipcovers for the summer months in the south;
we created lovely tailored slips for both!

(To see the treatment of the two settees, go to Two Louis XV Ca. 1750 Settees.)

Tailored slipcovers are excellent investments if you are concerned about your furniture getting dirty, and also can provide a shift in your home’s interior from summer to winter.

These settees were to be shipped to our clients with the slipcovers on, so showing them how to remove was also going to show them how to apply them — in reverse!

Because these are fitted slipcovers, there are tricks to taking
them on and off, so we did videos for our client.

Removing back slip part 1.

Finally, removing back slip and seat slip, above!

Below, a few more details of the
slipcovers on the sofa.  We also created slipcovers (below) and matching
and complimenting pillows (right) for the Two Louis XV Ca. 1750 Settees, to tie
them together in a large living room,

      Yes, we often create custom fitted slipcovers for our client. They take a good deal of tailoring work!
