Woven cane reached European chairs in the later seventeenth century, carried in on the trade routes from Asia, and English joiners soon found it light, cool and strong enough to last for generations, sending caned chairs from London fashion into the stone houses of the Cotswolds. It has never really left the dining room since, passing from country chairs to the bentwood seats of the Parisian café.
The chair has a solid hardwood frame finished in charcoal, its curved back wrapped around a panel of woven rattan cane in a natural tone that keeps it airy to look at. The seat is upholstered in a soft flax fabric over foam, giving a comfortable sit through long meals and longer conversations. It is rated to hold 330 lbs, non-marking caps sit under the feet, and it needs some assembly.
Sold on its own, it fills out a dining table or serves as the host's chair at the head of a mixed table where every chair is a little different. Away from the table it is an accent chair in a living room, a desk chair in a bedroom or office, or a seat by the front door. Charcoal and cane look good with a slim black desk lamp, a linen pinboard and a pot of rosemary on the sill. This listing is for one chair.
