FAQs

Caned seating gained popularity in Europe during the late 17th century, influenced by imports from East Asia, and experienced a major revival in neoclassical and country house styles.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames combined with hand-woven rattan cane seats and backs, often assembled using traditional mortise and tenon joints.

Authenticity is indicated by irregular hand-drilled holes for the cane work, hand-carved wooden details, and natural wear patterns consistent with age and oxidisation.

They provide texture and neutrality when paired with contemporary dining tables, bridging traditional craftsmanship with modern minimalist spaces.

Cane should be kept clean using a soft brush, and lightly hydrated periodically with a damp sponge to prevent the natural fibres from becoming brittle.
