Antique white wicker armchair ID

Nancy on Jun 30, 2016I would need to really inspect it closely but investigate Heywood-Wakefield Co. They produced wicker and rattan chairs from 1890's to 1990's. The balls on the lyre's spindles are reminiscent of some of their styles. Could be a nice reproduction. Chair seat would most likely have been made of tightly woven wicker (cane?).Helpful Reply

Bryan's Workshop on Jul 01, 2016Lovely! All of the spitcurls and beads make me believe it's a Whitney Reed chair. How heavy is it! The frame should be a solid wood like maple. Judging from the bottom and back, this chair looks like it was painted by an owner. What does the top of the seat look like with out the pillow? The underside of that is where the tag or stamp is or was.Helpful Reply

Joann on Jul 04, 2016If you would like to replace the wicker seat, it's pretty easy. That was machine-woven cane and the spline is still there. You'd just have to remove the old spline, buy a piece of cane seating and some new spline and follow directions for replacing cane seating. (Those directions are plentiful on the web and in many books.) Your local hardware store should have some info on where to buy seating.Helpful Reply
