The restoration of rush chairs can often appear to be a deceptively simple operation. It is, however, impossible to individually
replace broken strands which means that a rush seat nearly always needs to be completely rewoven. Because each rush varies
in thickness, some expertise is needed in order to weave them together and maintain a uniform and neatly woven appearance.
A crucial element in weaving rush is getting the tension right. It needs to be tight enough to avoid sagging, but with sufficient
'play' to accept the stuffing of the pockets that are created inside the weave.
Hand weaving rush seating is a speciality with a noticeable difference usually
apparent between the work of an expert and that of a craftsman of even
moderate skill!
Craftmanship
A newly completed rushed chair will usually show the many shades of rush colour used, ranging from the predominant greens
to yellows and browns. These colours fade with time to become the fawn shade usually associated with rush.
