How do I clean rush seats?

Dust regularly with a soft brush and avoid excess moisture that can weaken the natural plant fibres. Keep the room at a stable humidity to prevent the rush from drying out or becoming brittle over time.

Can I use these chairs daily?

Most pieces are built from sturdy hardwoods like oak and designed for practical everyday seating. Check that the joints remain tight and the woven or upholstered seats are secure before heavy use.

How do I identify a revival style?

Revival pieces emulate historical periods like Louis XV or Louis XVI through characteristic carving motifs and curved legs. Nineteenth-century workshops frequently reinterpreted these classical designs for contemporary homes.

What is the difference between cane and rush?

Cane uses thin strips of rattan woven into an open patterned mesh for chair backs and seats. Rush uses twisted marsh grasses to create a solid, tightly braided seating surface.
