How do I care for antique cane?

Keep woven panels hydrated by wiping them gently with a damp cloth occasionally to prevent the natural material from becoming brittle. Avoid placing pieces near direct heat sources. Support the woven surfaces by using cushions on older chairs to distribute weight evenly and prevent sagging.

Can broken cane be repaired?

Skilled restorers can re-weave damaged sections using traditional hand-caning techniques that match the original pattern. This preserves the historical integrity of the piece. Partial repairs blend new rattan with surviving historical cane, maintaining the authentic appearance of the item.

What periods do these pieces span?

The selection encompasses items from the seventeenth century through to the early twentieth century. Victorian and Edwardian examples appear frequently alongside Regency designs. Exotic influences from Anglo-Indian workshops also feature prominently among the nineteenth-century listings.

Where were these items placed?

Armchairs and bergères sat in drawing rooms and libraries, while umbrella stands occupied hallways and entryways. Lighter bamboo items suited conservatories and morning rooms. Daybeds provided versatile lounging options in various domestic spaces throughout the Victorian home.
