This chair features blind caning, where the cane sits within the frame instead of passing through it. Because of this, every strand must be carefully glued in place one by one.

After restoring the cane and staining it to match the frame, the chair is once again strong, beautiful, and ready to serve for many years to come.

A 1960s Italian classic stainless steel framed rocker .
It was left in a damp sunroom where the moisture corroded the steel frame , blistered the varnish and sun faded the beech frame and the cane had all but disintegrated
Cleaned the steel frame with special compounds and very fine wire wool, stripped the frame and re varnished it and replaced the cane . The unusual thing about this rocker is that the back is caned on both sides whereas the seat is just single caned .
A beautiful example now fully restored and going home
