Restoration of a Victorian Nursing chair

This Victorian Nursing chair needed some TLC due to the rear legs being broken and the seat base split. After repairing the legs and making a new seat base, it needed re-caning, luckily the pattern is a standard 6 weave, so an attempt was made to learn to cane, the result is detailed in these images

The first weave the easy one	Third weave under way
The fourth weave, this is the first true weave	The fifth weave and the first diagonal, the pattern starts to emerge
Finally the patten appears fully and the seat is finished	The pegs to hold the cane in place have been inserted
Finished with the edge beading in place and couched.	The Finished Chair, back in use for a few more years
