IMPERIAL DECORATING AND UPHOLSTERY, SINCE 1932

Long known as expert upholsterers, Imperial Decorating and Upholstery is becoming a place to find fine fabrics. At their location in West Hartford Imperial maintains an extensive fabric showroom.

Four generations of the Gallinato family have dedicated themselves to the upholstery craft since the shop opened in 1932. Imperial Decorating and Upholstery is a living example of the Old World approach thriving in the present and into the future. Imperial’s experience includes frame repair, horse hair, hand-stitched edges, tufting, channel backs, leather, coil springs and head trim, along with caning, rush, Shaker, and Danish cord seating.
