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.
Each chair has a solid hardwood frame finished in Chestnut, Driftwood, Honey or Jet, with a gently curved back framing a panel of open-weave rattan cane that lets light and air through. The seat is a foam-padded cushion in a pale fabric for comfort through long meals, edged with a French seam, a seam topstitched on both sides for a crisp line, and its cover comes off by a concealed zip for spot cleaning. Each is rated to hold 330 lbs, non-marking caps sit under every foot, and assembly is required.
They suit an old farmhouse kitchen with a scrubbed pine table, a jug of garden flowers and a dresser of mismatched plates. Two also make a good pair either side of a hall console, or accent chairs in a living room by the fire, and one can serve at a desk in a home office. Pair them with ticking stripe cushions, copper pans and a basket of apples for an easy country look. This listing is for a set of two chairs.
