Statue of Liberty Armature
October 28, 1886 the Statue of Liberty designed by Frederic Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel was dedicated as a gift to the United States from the people of France.
Sometime around 1915 my Grandfather, Jerome Jacobbi, landed on Ellis Island as an immigrant from Italy and registered to become a United States citizen.
Last week I was commissioned to built a stand for a piece of the original supporting armature that was brought to New York prior to the dedication. Yes, it was an emotional experience thinking about Grandpa’s first glimpse of the statue, and now I was holding part of what he saw 100 years ago in my hands.

Upholstered Chair Restoration
Circa 1940 chairs arrived in our studio in desperate need of repair. The first step was to remove all of the original seat springs, webbing, and horse hair cushions. Next the chairs were taken apart and joints rebuilt as needed. Then back to the upholstery shop for a complete retie of the springs and application of a beautiful fabric. Let’s just say this room is a one of a kind! Wonderful fabric, paint and antique furniture recommendations from Alcott Interiors here in Nashville.
