Regency Mahogany
What is the best way to reupholster an antique chair I purchased at a garage sale?
I purchased this chair in a garage sale for $40 intending on trying this out myself. It is a Parlor-style club chair with ball & claw feet and wood carved pieces along the front of the arms. As I began to remove some of the stitching, it became clear that I might have an expensive piece of furniture and it deserves professional work. The chair really has nothing wrong with it but a wobbly arm and the fabric is out-of-date but still clean. I also found straw-like fibrous material inside the arm which tipped me off that this chair might be older than 50 years. I would like to purchase the fabric myself being that I know how to find a bargain but would like to hire the work, is this possible? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Here is the link to a chair similar to mine but my chair has less detailing.

shopping for upholsters is tough. Try asking friends and relatives for recommendations. Call a furniture store and ask who they use to repair their items.You can purchase the fabric, but, they will probably charge more for repair.
