Marlborough Antiques & Restorations use only first quality rattan chair cane and offer expert workmanship in:
* hand caning
* blind caning
* double-sided caning
* intricate or unusual patterns and shapes
* sheet caning
Replacing rush seating can be problematic. With rush a prohibited import into Australia, many restorers use sea-grass cord as a substitute. This can give an inferior result due to the coarse texture of the material and the amount of stretch that occurs with use.
At Marlborough Antiques, we have developed a method of weaving twisted paper cord that bears a much closer resemblance to rush in texture and twist and provides equal, if not superior properties of endurance.
Marlborough Antiques & Restorations offer a complete restoration service from simple re-polishing, to total hand-stripping and re-finishing. From retro furniture, antiques, chairs, country pine tables and Victorian cedar chests of drawers, through to architectural items with particular emphasis on fireplaces and mantlepieces, both for private customers and restoration suppliers such as Chippendale Restorations in Rozelle.
Please view our Sales Gallery for quality retro and antique furniture for sale at competitive prices (+ free delivery to Sydney).
