Old World Upholstery

Old World Upholstery in Folsom, California brings together two distinct specialties: antique restoration and furniture reupholstery. Folsom's historic downtown and affluent residential areas attract homeowners who own and appreciate quality older pieces, making this kind of specialized service especially relevant locally. With a 4.4 rating across 7 reviews, the shop has built a solid reputation for careful, skilled work. Whether you've inherited a Victorian settee or found a mid-century treasure at an estate sale, this is the kind of shop that knows how to treat it right.

Old World Upholstery handles traditional furniture reupholstery for sofas, chairs, and ottomans, but their antique restoration work sets them apart. Restoring antique pieces requires understanding historical construction techniques, from hand-tied coil springs to horsehair padding, and replacing or replicating those elements correctly. Fabric selection for antiques involves choosing period-appropriate materials or high-quality reproductions that respect the piece's original character. Frame repair, refinishing of exposed wood, and custom cushion work are all part of what a full antique restoration involves.

Old World Upholstery is based in Folsom and serves customers throughout the eastern Sacramento suburbs, including El Dorado Hills, Rancho Cordova, and Gold River. Clients from the broader Sacramento region also make the trip for antique restoration work that requires this level of specialization.
