Caning new Frames for Boat Builders and Cabinet Makers. Please
email or
phone for details. |
| There
can be a reduction in these prices if it is a very simple panel
with less than 75 holes and/or it does not require beading. (The wider cane which goes
around the perimeter of some caned panels) |
|
Blind Caning
- sometimes known as 'French' or
'secret' caning.
The holes are not drilled all the way through and each
piece of cane has to be glued individually into each
hole.
This is very time consuming and the cost reflects this:
Prices for blind caning start at £3.00/hole.

Restoration page for pictures of this |

Medallions - See opposite
These
and other complications attract an extra charge. |

Loom Cane
Modern chairs are
usually seated in loom cane. This comes in a pre-woven sheet
and is fixed into a groove around the seat frame. Although it is relatively quick to replace, removing the old cane
and glue and cleaning the groove to take the new cane has to be done
with great care so as not to damage the surrounding wood.
Price
To replace loom cane From 35p/sq"
Minimum
Charge of £50 per panel |
|
Splicing (Patching small holes
- see Restoration) This is only viable for small holes in
relatively large areas of
cane. |
from |
£40 + £5 per strand replaced |

Additional Options and Charges: |
|
Staining to match original or to 'age'
New cane is very white
but within 3 or so years begins to mellow to the characteristic
yellowy brown.
It is
possible to 'colour'
the cane to give a reasonable, but not perfect, match with other
panels or the original old cane. |
