There are a large array of fabrics available for Sherborne Furniture
and these are all the same price. All materials are rated for general
domestic use and will have been throughly tested by Sherborne Upholstery
before adding to their range. The leathers are split into two prices
groups. Please do not assume that the lower price means a poorer quality
of leather, all leathers are rated for general domestic use. The price
differences are more to do with final finish of the leather rather than
wearability.
If you would like us to send you a sample of any fabric please send us your name, address and postcode on this email link with the fabric name(s) .

Fabric Care
We recommend that you vacuum your upholstery regularly and remove stains
by means of a damp cloth (not over-wet) and soapy water or mild
detergent if necessary, following closely the manufacturer's
instructions. For more stubborn stains
please consult a professional cleaning company.
All pile fabrics including chenilles are subject to a certain degree of
shading or pile crush with frequent use. This is not a fabric fault, nor
will it detract from the wearing properties of the material. The effect
of pile crush can
be minimised by regular brushing with a soft brush and occasional
steaming where the pile is showing signs of wear.
In order to create the extra softness inherent in 'chaise'-type
seatwraps it is important to remember that the upholstery is somewhat
looser than in conventional seating, particularly as it cannot be pulled
tightly from side to side.
This may result in a little 'bagginess' or 'wrinkliness' appearing in
certain fabrics which can usually be smoothed out by hand after use. It
is also worth noting that with this type of upholstery horizontal seams
in seating and joins
in back cushions may become misaligned in use. When this happens it is
advisable to re-align the affected areas by hand after use.
Armcaps are available with most items to prevent excessive wear on the
vulnerable arm sections. Please also remember that direct sunlight may
fade certain colours. Avoid sharp objects, including pets' claws, from
damaging your
upholstery.
Showwood areas should be wiped daily with a soft dry duster. To remove
grease marks use a diluted solution of warm water and vinegar and buff
with a soft duster. Do not use spray furniture polish.
In General
Where seat or back cushions are reversible, they should be turned
frequently to minimise creasing and even up the amount of wear. All
fibre-filled back cushions should be 'plumped up' frequently to retain
their best appearance. Do not
sit on arms or the front edges of seat cushions.
Slight colour variations are inevitable from one dye batch to another so
we are unable to guarantee an exact colour match to the fabric or
Leather sample in the pattern book, nor to furniture previously ordered
in the same material. All
colours shown on this Website are as accurate as reprographic and
digital processes allow. Sherborne policy is one of continuous
development and accordingly we reserve the right to alter any
specification/size without prior notice.
Leather Care
•Vacuum and dust frequently with a soft cloth
•Do not allow body oils, perspiration or hair products to settle into
the grain of the Leather as these will gradually break down the finish.
Please also note that some forms of medication can cause damage to the
top coat of leather via
skin transferance.
•Clean regularly with a damp cloth (not over-wet) using circular motions
until the dirty parts are clean, then dry immediately with a soft cloth
•If necessary, add a little soapy water to the above process providing NO DETERGENTS are used
•NEVER USE SADDLE SOAP, WAX OR SPRAY POLISH WHICH MAY CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE
•For rare, awkward stains a wide range of proprietary Leather Care
cleaners can be obtained, following closely the manufacturers'
instructions
•After cleaning a neutral Leather Cream may be used to restore the original sheen (proprietary products only, please)
•Too frequent or over-enthusiastic cleaning or application of Leather
Cream may wear away the upper, darker coat of Antique Leather to reveal
more of the lighter base coat
•Avoid sharp objects such as belts, buckles, studs and zips scratching the surface of the Leather
•Protect your Leather furniture from direct sunlight
•Avoid drying out the Leather by keeping it away from direct heat sources such as fires and radiators
