This is the photo that sold me on the vintage chairs I recently got! It’s amazing how fabric can transform them.
I found a beautiful pair of cane and faux bamboo chairs at a local store in Birmingham called Stash and am so excited about how they look in our living room. I’ve linked some similar looking new and vintage options and am including what I look for when shopping vintage furniture piece below!
-All the cane being in-tact.: Getting cane rewoven is expensive so if there are holes in it then they may become really pricey to fix!
-Removable cushions: This makes reupholstery much more affordable. I’ll eventually get new cushion covers made for the cushions that came with these chairs made, but did now I just wrapped some light blue fabric around the bottom cushion.
-A reputable maker and/or all wood construction: usually when removing cushions or looking at the base of the chairs you can find a maker. These are by Hickory Chair out of North Carolina, so I knew they were a good deal at under $500 for the pair. I find an identical pair for $2300 😳
-Versatility of use: While I love the way these look in our living room I know that they will be great in future homes too since they look pretty from all angles with the cane on the back.
