A BIT OF HISTORY: while prepping a chair yesterday we discovered this old school upholstery advertisement inside the chair!

Naugahyde is an artificial material designed to resemble leather, made from fabric coated with rubber or vinyl

"In 1914, an exciting new product was developed at the U.S. Rubber Company plant in Naugatuck, Connecticut. Since it looked like a hyde and was made in Naugatuck, these two words were linked and Naugahyde was born."

A BIT OF HISTORY: "The first signs of comfort for chairs came with the making of cushions, but it was not until the reign of Queen Elizabeth I that the stuffing of furniture began to evolve. From then on the craft of upholstery increased and was in great demand, reaching its zenith probably in the late Victorian era and early Edwardian days."*
