Hand caning
Serving PA, NY, OH, and MD.
We serve clients interested in restoring antique furniture having woven seats. These include caning, fibre rush, splint, flat reed, Shaker tape, binder cane, and seagrass. We refurbish and restore of all types of caned, wicker, and rattan furniture.
Restoration
TaleWeavers believes in preserving the integrity and history of each piece of furniture with which we work. In seat weaving, we strive to secure materials that will enable us to match the pattern in the seat area. When reweaving a seat, we document the original design, using these as tools to guide our restoration work.
We take a conservative approach that permits us to repair or replace visible parts to create an authentic look. Structural framework or others parts may be replaced or enhanced so the furniture piece is functional.
