What's It Called

I have an old ottoman that I am refurbing, there is a chain between the body and the lid to stop the lid falling back.

I am going to replace it cos it's covered in paint from the previous owner but where can I get one? Thought I'd have a look on eBay but don't know what to type in.

Chain,lid chain, box chain all throw up thousands of random unsuitable items.

Lid Chain Stay?

You could use a bit of gold plug chain.

get a bit of chain from B&Q..loads to choose from

Even a 'stay' made from folded fabric of the same sort you are recovering with, and sewn on would be good.

What about using paint remover on the existing one?

[silliemillie]

Thanks for all your suggestions, of course I could use any chain couldn't I? Why didn't I think of that? They don't call me silliemille for nothing! LOL!

ferlew, I was thinking of doing just that if I couldn't find the right chain.
