Continuing the craft ~ chair caning, rush seating, seagrass seating, so many interesting and lovely chairs to work on.
I often find myself wondering about the human stories behind the chairs, the owners, the makers, the lives that they have passed through, the value that they hold for people. Their history, who first created their seat bases of rush or cane, who’s sat on them, the rooms they went into and then ~ why are they so special to the people now?
Whichever one you may be I am always delighted that I have been chosen and entrusted to bring your chair back to life.
For all seating enquiries it’s often best to email me first and ideally attach images of your chair seat (the top of the seat and the underneath) plus the size of the seat frame that needs re-caning or re-rushing. For chair caning it is also useful to have a count of the number of holes there are around the seat frame.
This gives me a starting point to working out what is required in terms of materials and time. The quote is subject to seeing the actual chairs themselves. I can undertake repairs such as the re-setting of the stretchers and the placing back of the bands but I would have to assess the cost of the repairs once I have sight of the chairs.
