Traditional Diamonds on Buggy Seats, Engels Coach Shop

Diamond patterns on carriage seats are common and were either tufted or sewn in place. Foam was never used, but horse hair or excelsior, an Aspen tree wood fiber, were traditional. This buggy originally had sewn diamonds and was filled with excelsior so I am going back with that tradition. A good grade vinyl was the customer s choice for top material, but I will still do it in the leather style.
