Let us cane it for you! All work is done in house by hand the old fashioned way. Listed below are the types of weaving we specialize in reproducing. Please note, some chairs are constructed in such a way that the seat frame has to be disassembled to do the weaving. For this reason, additional cost may be involved. Popular since Europe and America opened trade with the Far East in the 1500-1600s.

Very common on 19th century Victorian era chairs. Cane is actually very thin strands cut from the inner bark of the rattan plant which grows to 40 feet in length. Strands are woven in multiple layers and directions through small holes in the seat frame, resulting in an open mesh appearance. About seven different widths of cane have been used for chairs. The width of cane is determined by the distances between the holes in the seat frame. Such hand caned seats typically last 20 to 30 years. Cost is determined by the total number of holes in the seat frame to be woven. It usually ranges from $95 to $175 per seat and double that if both seat and back are rewoven. Looks the same as a hand caned seat, but is machine woven and installed as a sheet pressed and glued into a groove in the seat frame.

It first appeared in the early 1900's in Colonial America. These seats were commonly placed on all styles of chairs, particularly in less wealthy urban and country regions. It quickly became a popular substitute for cattail rush and sea grass as it is much easier to use, and therefore much less costly. Many colonial revival ladder back chairs were produced with fiber rush seats in the 1950's and 1960's. Its life span is typically 25 to 40 years. It usually ranges from $85 to $245 per seat and double that if both back and seat are woven.

Widths can range from 1/4 inch to 1 inch. Dampened, pliable strips are wrapped over typically round dowels of a chair seat or rocker back while being woven into a herringbone or basket weave pattern on both the top and bottom surfaces.

It usually ranges from $65 to $215 per seat and double that if both back and seat are rewoven. Shaker tape refers to long flat cloth strips, usually made of various color cotton 1 inch wide.
