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 total cost & time for the restoration work to be undertaken.
I prefer to see the existing chair weaving in place if possible, so I can match the original weave patterns and materials (alternative weaving materials can be discussed). Please send photographs of the chair, showing the front and back of the woven area, to louise@basketcaseweaving.co.uk or arrange to show me the chair by calling 0794 3577582.
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.
