Do you do caning of seats and backs of chairs and/or ratton repair?
Yes. Caning comes in two forms hand-woven or pre-woven. Older chairs prior to the 1920’s are most commonly hand woven, a lengthy process from hole to hole. Pre-woven comes in a mat and is held into a channel on the outer ½” of the seat opening and is held in with a thin piece of wood called a spline. Ratton repairs are generally wrapping of the joints or unions with straps of caning to finish off the look.
