Does anyone know of a source (or sources) for historically appropriate
upholstery materials (curled hair, linen webbing, etc.--maybe even marsh
grass?)? Some modern materials are suitable substitutes, but for an
exhibit illustrating traditional upholstery materials and techniques,
everything shows and needs to be as accurate as possible. Thanks (I'm also
posting this message to CoOL).
