French Cane-Back Settee

Our French Cane-Back Settee features a hand-woven rattan on its back, and it's complemented with a sturdy oak frame and crisp linen upholstery. This gorgeous piece is handmade with care with an antique white finish. Caned furniture first appeared in Holland, England, and France around the 1600s, but cane strips (from the rattan vine) have been used for weaving since ancient civilizations. Wisteria products are primarily handmade at small artisanal facilities in a traditional manner, in small batch quantities, or often as an individually made-to-order item if it is a part of our custom or bespoke program. Naturally - this means products may have variations between two items that may have been made in a separate batch or at a different time. Thus, minor imperfections are part of the patina for these products. We want to share this with you so that you know what to expect and be proud of the uniqueness of your purchase. This is quintessential Wisteria and very much part of the DNA of us and our products. As patrons of the brand, we know you appreciate this difference - unlike many of our larger competitors who bring you factory-made products that are mass manufactured in state-of-the-art factories - we are focused on individual and small craftsmen for their artisanal skills that have been handed from generation to generation with a sense of passion and purpose
