cane repair & restoration
Cane can be worked in a number of different methods. This is a variation of the 6 way pattern. Some patterns are worked with just 4 layers of cane which, though attractive on arm and rear panels, are generally unsuitable for seats.
Please Note I am now only repairing and restoring cane and danish cord.
repair of damaged cane
It is sometimes possible, if damage to the existing cane is not too great, to repair cane work rather than completely replace it. The damaged canes are removed and new canes of matching colour are woven into their place. Please note – the quality of the existing cane is important – if it is very old it may be too brittle for this treatment.
below are three examples of the common 6 way pattern worked in cane to create a ‘sunrise’ effect.
