Rush chairs can appear deceptively simple to restore, however it is impossible to replace broken strands individually so a rush
seat always needs to be completely woven. Each rush varies in thickness and some expertise is required to weave them together
to maintain a uniform, neatly woven appearance.
The crucial element is getting the tension right - tight enough not to sag, but with enough 'play' to allow stuffing of the pockets
that will be created inside the weave.
The hand weaving of rush seating is a speciality - there is usually a noticeable
difference between the work of an expert and the work of a craftsperson of
even moderate skill!
Expertise & Skill
When first completed a rushed chair shows the many shades of colour ranging from the predominant green to yellow and
brown. With time these colours fade to the fawn shade we usually associate with rush.
