Upholstery
We sell chairs that have been re-upholstered to be as close as possible to the original.
Because upholstery is a part of what we do, we can offer these restoration services:
Upholstery
We replace webbing, springs, stuffing, fabric and trim.
Cane-work
We replace worn, broken or damaged cane-work in chairs.
How to cost hand-woven Cane-work.
Cane-work is slow and expensive work so here is a rough guide to estimate the cost.
- The cane work has a length, L and a width W, along the length the greatest number of holes is NL and along the width, the greatest number of holes is NW.
- Measure the length L and the Width W in metres and count the numbers of holes.
- Multiply L x NW and add it to W x NL.
- Multiply the answer by 6 to give the price in Euros.
This is only a rough guide and for accurate pricing we need to see the piece or at least pictures of it.
Most cane-work is roughly square, made up in a 6-way weave, two warp, two weft and two diagonals, but if there is a fan pattern or island or some other complexity built into the original weave or if it is double sided, the work will be more expensive.
