<p>[QUOTE="Melissa Brown, post: 247238, member: 4746"]I think that seat is hand woven. I've caned a few chairs, and it's hard work! Rather than nine sections nailed together, I think it's a pattern woven in that would also reinforce the seat. It's beautiful and useful! If it were pre woven cane, it would be set into a grove on the top of the chair seat, not woven into holes. Lots of old chairs are ruined that way and can't be taken back to original caning once the groove is routed in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edited to add, you can also see knots where the weavers are joined. You won't see that in prewoven caning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pretty chair [USER=4689]@memobug[/USER]![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
