Association Of Master Upholsterers

The AMUSF was established in 1947 (then as the AMU) to protect the interests of upholsterers, tiny furniture makers, and soft furnishers. In those days of post-war austerity, this group of master craftsmen (and craftswomen) were starved of many of the materials needed for their trades. They felt the need for a group voice and mutual support to tackle the difficulties this caused and, in the highly regulated environment of the time, to guarantee that they could influence regional and national government in the framing and enforcement of laws which affected them.
