ABOUT US
Welcome to Barry Barlow & Son Upholstery
Barry Barlow & Son Upholstery is a name built on nearly a century of dedication to the art of furniture restoration. As a 5th-generation upholsterer serving Delaware since 1928, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to ensure every piece we touch is both beautiful and durable.
Our journey began in the family business, where hands-on experience and a love for furniture artistry were passed down through generations. The current owner started learning the craft at just 10 years old, worked for 25 years in the family trade, and eventually opened their own business at age 35—continuing the legacy of excellence.
We specialize in repairing and restoring fine furniture, including nationally recognized 18th and 19th-century American pieces. Our services extend beyond restoration: we offer custom fabrics and trims, convenient pickup and delivery, and complete guard fabric protection to maintain the beauty of carpets, drapery, and upholstery.
At Barry Barlow & Son Upholstery, every project is treated with precision, care, and respect for the original design. We believe in preserving the history of each piece while enhancing its functionality and aesthetic appeal, ensuring that your furniture continues to be cherished for generations.
