Chair Seat Restoration

 Hand caned chairs are woven one strand at a time. Each strand is inserted into a hole that is drilled through the frame of the chair. The price to replace these chair is estimated by the number of holes plus materials and take  8 hours to do on average. 

 Sheet caned chairs are made with pre woven materials that is fitted into a groove in the chair and held in place with a piece of spline.  Old material is removed and the groove cleaned out by hand before new material is installed. This type of cane comes in several styles and sizes and when new, is a blond colour that darkens to an amber colour over time. It can be stained if you need to match a chair to an existing set.  

The price to replace these seats varies due to the cost of the materials but expect to pay around $100

Splint seating can be done in many patterns. The cost to replace these seats is harder to average out since the materials range in width from 3/16 of an inch, up to 1 inch. -The wider the materials, the less time it takes to weave and the smaller the seat, the less materials it takes to weave. These types of chairs can often be repaired if just a couple of strands are broken and a suitable replacement material is available to replace it with.

 Fiber, or paper rush seats are usually woven in a continuous strand that creates 4 triangles that meet in the middle but occasionally other styles of woven patterns turn up.  They are priced by the length of the front rail. Most chairs cost between $100 - 150.00 to replace the seating.
