LEARNING THE ANCIENT ART OF CHAIR CANING

























I just began a class and in a few weeks I will have completely caned a chair seat!  I have to say it is quite a relaxing and enjoyable task.  While time intensive, it is quite a simple and straightforward process compared to upholstery.  And caned furniture always makes me long for the British Colonial era, sitting on some Neoclassical veranda with a cool cocktail dressed in white linen...

I was happy to stumble over this quite excellent Apartment Therapy article about the history of caned furniture.

Stay tuned for the final result soon!
