<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9585134, member: 2844&quot;]I remember the thread. Someone wondered if double caning would indicate a tropical origin, thought maybe double caning was cooler than single caning. So speculating, but no positive tropical origin id.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never seen double caning on colonial furniture. For instance, if you look at the classic &#039;planter&#039;s chair&#039;, it has single caning.</p><p>Caning as such provides ventilation, but I don&#039;t see what an extra layer could add to that. I think a double layer means the back of the chair is a bit more sturdy. So maybe it is a sign of quality, rather than climate.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw similar chairs to OP&#039;s, with double caning, coming out of Italy in the 1980s and 90s. Which doesn&#039;t necessarily mean this one is 1980s-90s, or even Italian. I do think it is 20th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same here. But I do remember those Italian chairs were pricey, so the seller was probably right. But in essence it is a (good quality) second hand chair, not antique or collectible, so the seller can&#039;t expect to get what he paid for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
