French Cane Chair

Our French Cane Chair, available only in limited numbers, starts at $3,200 + cost of fabrics and finishing details. Thousands of fabrics to choose from with choice of inserts.

The natural beauty of our Empire armchair is enhanced by the caned wicker, combining an airy, relaxed feel with its formal style, a marrying of cultures and mixing handwoven with hand carved. First discovered buried with Egyptian pharaohs, wicker had a massive resurgence in the furnishings of the 1970s and are now back in vogue.

In the spirit of its Neoclassical roots, we turned this chair on its head with our over-the-top combination of modern fabrics.

The elbow pads, back and seat cushions are covered in 100% cotton, durable print. Reminiscent of works by Dutch graphic artist, Maurits Cornelis Escher, with its mind-blowing pattern of terraced colonnades, mosaics and lush tropical greenery. Designed in the UK and milled in Italy. Available in other colourways and also as wallpaper.  

A woven houndstooth pattern completes the chair, paying homage to the noble rattan, and topped with contrast piping.

All fabrics exclusive to KENDALL & Co and available by the yard for upholstery, drapery or accent pillows.

Solid wood carved frame and caning are stained in yellow.

Handmade. Made Local.

Floor Model as shown: $4,860 with foam inserts. May upgrade to down/feather insert.
