"Within the hierarchy of furniture-making tradesmen, the upholsterer's profession ranked among the most prestigious and the most lucrative. In The London Tradesman (1747), Robert Campbell wrote that an upholsterer must have "not only judgment of material but taste in Fashions . . . skill in workmanship . . . and set up as a connoisseur in every article in the house." Many upholsterers came from well-to-do families, an important background for craftsmen who needed to establish credit at the start of their careers to purchase expensive upholstery fabrics."
