How do you repair an old cane chair with a broken seat?

Question

I thought about replacing the seat with weaved fabric . Of course, this will just be for looks and not for sitting.

Hi Connie,

This might be a way to handle your project:

You could then use it as a functioning chair.

Why replace it? Throw a wash basin in or a antique treasure and use as a

planter or whatever inspires you

How old is old?

The ease of replacing the cane or reviving the chair with another seat covering depends on how the covering is attached to the frame.

Please post a picture so that we can see what you have to work with.

I used old men's neck ties and tied knots underneath. Looks great and seats well. Very sturdy.
