Suzie Fletcher and Sonnaz Nooranvary restore a badly damaged suspended chair from the 60s.

Jay Blades and the team bring family heirlooms back to life. Suzie Fletcher and Sonnaz Nooranvary restore a badly damaged suspended chair from the 1960s, known as a 'leaf chair'.

Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

Leather expert Suzie Fletcher, alongside upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary, restore a badly damaged suspended chair from the 1960s, known as a 'leaf chair'. A gift from his grandmother, the owner is keen to hang it in his flat and relive his childhood memories of happy times. Its distinctive shape and design prove to be quite the challenge for Suzie and Sonnaz but with a little ingenuity and team work, the two restore the chair beautifully.

Blacksmith conservator Matthew Boultwood comes to the rescue of a 30-kilo cast iron statue of the Roman God Hercules. It took pride of place in a town's Heritage Centre, until an unfortunate accident meant he lost his club, but using a clever repair technique Matthew saves the day. And wood restorer Will Kirk takes on an interesting smokers' stand, which belonged to the owner's pipe-smoking grandfather. It has lost a leg and several pieces are missing but, with the help of restorer Steven Fletcher, the stand is returned to its former glory.
