Chair Caning/Re-caning
I will undertake complete chair caning or re-caning; and consider cane chair repair work by re-weaving to patch damaged areas. Please get in touch for an estimate of cost for the restoration work to be undertaken.
I prefer to see the existing chair weaving in place if possible, enabling me to assess the original weave patterns and materials. Please email photographs of the chair, showing the front and back of the woven area, to: [email protected] or arrange to show me the chair by calling 0792 641 8523. I am based in Brighton, Sussex. I ask that you deliver and collect.
Your project should be checked for woodworm. Any necessary repairs or treatment should be done before the caning.
Re-caning the seat, back or sides can restore an un-usable damaged chair to a functional item of furniture. In many cases bringing a much loved family chair or heirloom back into regular use, extending its lifetime.
