seat weaving

Restore your heirlooms by replacing the worn or broken woven seat. JC Caning will replace the woven seat to return your antique chair to its former beauty and functionality. Modern caned backs and seats can be repaired and stained to match the set of chairs.

WOVEN FURNITURE REPAIR
JC Caning restores the seats on hand cane, pressed cane, fiber rush, natural rush, seagrass, Danish cord, flat reed, splint, binder cane, Shaker tape, rattan, and wicker chairs. Professional refinish and repair is done by Furniture Clinic in Williamsburg, VA.

ESTIMATES
​Detailed estimates will be given after inspection since all chairs are different and may provide unique challenges. Loose joints or repairs needed will be noted on estimate. Finish of chair will be cleaned and refreshed. Cane will be stained, if desired. Cane is difficult to stain so specific color matches cannot be guaranteed. Other materials will be sealed as appropriate for the material. 

SCHEDULING
Please be patient as caning is a labor intensive art form. Some pieces can be done quickly while others will take time. Work is rotated efficiently to provide the best service possible.

PAYMENTS/PICK UP/DELIVERY
Payment is due in full upon pick up or delivery of finished item. Personal checks and credit cards accepted. Customer delivery and pick up is preferred. Pick up and delivery service is available.
​
PRICING
This price list is for standard seat weaving jobs. Final estimate will be given after visual inspection. JC Caning pricing.pdf

In the past several days, all of my siblings have had the opportunity to see and marvel over the beautiful, stunning, workmanship, that you did caning the chair that my father built. You indeed did it justice! Many thanks from my siblings and I.

JC Caning re-caned four of our chairs, each of which was over 40 years old. JC Caning restored them perfectly-better than new. We can strongly recommend JC Caning.

I was thrilled to find Jen listed online when I started looking for someone to recane an old chair that has been in the family my entire life. She was prompt in getting back to me, gave me time frames and did a beautiful job on the chair. The caning itself is extremely well done and the chair cleaned up beautifully. 5 stars for sure.

We were extremely pleased with the work that Jennifer did. She repaired chairs that had been in our family for over 100 years. Her work is outstanding and the finished product was extremely well done.

I'm very impressed with the caning work JC Caning recently completed for me. It was an antique chair with a rush seat. It came out beautifully, better than I had anticipated. When I need more work like this done I now know where to go.

My husband's parents gave us a Thonet rocker 43 years ago when our first child was born. One of our pets damaged the seat of the rocker. I found Jen and she did a wonderful job of restoring the seat of the rocker. You would never know that the seat was new caning. It matches the back of the rocker perfectly. I highly recommend Jen. Her work is incredible. Thank you Jen for giving new life to my Thonet rocker.
