Antique Straw-Covered Plant Cord

Antique Straw-Covered Plant Cord, for which uses?

This 100% natural cordage is a fibre drawn from an aquatic environment, covered in antique straw (~500 g reel). Its antique robe evokes the patina of old pieces. It is used for the re-seating and restoration of stools, chairs and armchairs, as well as for creative hobbies and decorative work where a natural, authentic fibre is sought.

Working it well

Lightly dampened, the cord gains flexibility for precise weaving; it keeps its tension once dry, for a stable, durable seat. Store the reel dry, away from moisture.

A fibre sourced by Maison Douineau

From a preserved natural environment, this cord is selected with the standard of a curator of fibres since 1850. For re-seating, find our step-by-step guides in Our advice and our ideas in the Vannerie DIY universe.
