Farcroft carries out restoration to rush and caning work, ranging from cleaning and conservation to full replacement. This specialist work is still carried out by hand as it has been for many centuries.
We can reproduce virtually any pattern including, double cane, medallion backs, close cane work, and secret caning. On more modern pieces of furniture, pre-woven cane is sometimes used.
Depending on the level of damage, residual deposits such as soot can be removed using sensitive cleaning processes and refinished. Where more serious damage has occurred, rush can be replaced using traditional hand-weaving methods and refinished with a protective shellac coating.
