I dunno if this is the right place to post this, but I know some of you ladies have antique furniture and I thought you might be able to help...
On another forum (not antiques or vintage related), a woman posted about how her 85-year old chaise lounge chair (her great-grandmother's, from Italy) got ruined when her son left a bag of ice sitting on it and it leaked. Now it has an awful water stain on it, made worse when she tried to dry it (with something called a Rainbow?? idk) and the dirt that accumulated in the chair over the years lifted to the surface and just made it worse.
Any ideas on if it can be fixed? I don't know this woman personally but any advice I could pass along would be nice because it's a real shame that her chair got ruined and I want to help. Would an upholsterer be able to fix it or is the damage unrepairable?
Here are pictures of it:
before water damage
and after (the dark stains are the water damage).
