About the Business

Former Glory Bristol: Re-imagined vintage furniture. | I take unwanted peices of vintage and retro furniture from the streets of Bristol and lovingly restore them to a re-imagined former glory. I combine design inspiration with upholstry, furniture restoration, woodcraft and decorative finish. I try to reflect the furnitures history and at the sametime re-imagine a new story for the piece so that it becomes relevant in todays very different world.

Shona did a beautiful job with my antique chair. She was very generous with her time and even accompanied me to the interior design shop to select the fabric.

I wanted an upcycled display cabinet for my lovely array of china. Shona did a brilliant job sourcing, refurbishing and painting the cabinet in just the right colour for my new home. Her attention to detail is fantastic. Great after care as well! Definite recommendation.

I met Shona at a sustainable pop up event in Bristol a few weeks ago and saw the monkey chair" in person. I LOVED the fabric and the ethos of Former Glory Bristol. I came home raving about it to my husband

Shona reupholstered an old chair that had been in my family for many years but needed plenty of TLC. She has done a fantastic job and we are really delighted with the results. Would highly recommend. Lyndsay Newman

All I can say is “wow”. Shona has completely transformed our tired old chair into something that now takes pride of place in our house. What Shona has done has far exceeded our expectations – the chair looks fabulous and it has so much character. It is also really comfortable, thanks to a complete rebuild; Shona took the chair back to its bare bones, replacing the old springs, horse hair and sacking with new springs and brand new padding. Once that was done, it was time to choose new fabric and I can honestly say I couldn’t have found this gorgeous material without Shona’s guidance. All in all, we are delighted that our old chair has been given the Former Glory treatment. Thanks Shona!
