En introduktion av rottingflätning, Rekonstruktion av rottingstol
The purpose of my report is to create an interest in hand caning and different caning patterns, both for professionals and interested laymen. My hope is that they will use my report as a guide and an inspiration, for techniques such as braiding a cane seat. I also discuss how better to preserve cane furniture and different ways in which to finish it. Weaving is easier than you might believe.Today many people discard old and inherited furniture with elements of hand caning because it is too costly to have it repaired by a professional. Some people also remove the cane work and replace it with upholstery and fabric. I think this is very sad since the piece then loses its value.I have also carried out hands-on work on a Baroque chair from the 17th century, belonging to the Royal Castle in Stockholm, with hand-caned seat and back. This proved that my chair, together with three other chairs, was remade in the 19th century while in Mälsåker Castle. There is no information about when, where or by whom these chairs were made.
