hand woven rush seat replacement

"Rush" Seating

Also known as fiber-rush, or just fiber, is done with twisted Kraft paper cord and forms a sort of pyramid on all four sides coming together in the center of the seat.

Some chairs, especially those sold at the import stores as "genuine rush" seats, use a material called seagrass. These seats are added on, or into the chair and may have been sold as "replaceable". 

Seagrass is. As the name implies, grass, and grass turns into straw...I will not work with seagrass. Period. But you can remove all that material and send me the empty inner frame for a newly woven fiber seat!

 This is what a "genuine" rush seat looks like. The material is twisted bull-rush. Unfortunately, I do not provide genuine rush seat replacement, and no longer know of anyone who does. 

Those chairs with a removeable seat "insert" may have a seat that looks something like this. Usually the corner areas look like what I call "diaper wrapped" layers of extra material. I don't, and won't do that...I hate it! Mine will look more like this picture or the next. I insist that you remove all the old seating material and make sure the four sides of the inner frame are in sound shape befor

If the insert seat you have does not have the four corners cut out where the legs fit around the seat, the two back corners shown here are an example of how I do the corners where there are no cut-outs. There may or may not be a little under-wrapping but I will bring the weave as close to covering the entire corner as possible.

Always up for a challenge, I will try almost anything once! Like making a round peg fit into a square hole...

I am almost always up to the challenge of something unusuallly large, or uniquely shaped, but will not be able to quote a firm price until I have the project in front of me. Send me pictures and I can determine if it's a job I'm willing to take on...and will try to give you a ballpark estimate.
