Featured Ball & Claw Chair

I'd agree if the upholstery were in better condition!

 

I remember seeing that thread fairly recently. But can't find it, either. I did figure out that search terms on this site have to be exact. Which I normally like, but have gotten used to online search engines that also search for similar spellings. That doesn't work on this site.

 

Here's the thread:

It was @Debora who pointed out that double-caning may be associated with warmer climates.
(Search word required was the hyphenated "double-caned".)

 

Yes, it was I. Unusual to my eye and I posited a colonial origin/influence. But I did a bit more internet research, and see it typically comes out of France. Perhaps to improve sturdiness.

Thanks! I had used double caning. Maybe hyphenated, but have forgotten now.

 

Almost exactly the same as the one posted here, except for the pattern on the fabric.
