Cane Puller

The cane puller, for delicate passes

Essential to the caning of chairs and armchairs, the cane puller pulls the rattan cane strands as they pass under the weave already in place, notably when working on the diagonal. It eases these delicate passes where fingers alone are not enough, for a neat, even caning.

Using it well

Slip the cane puller under the crossed strands to catch the cane and guide it without marking it. Made of stainless steel, it withstands the moisture of soaked fibres and lasts a long time.

Maison Douineau selects quality equipment and has supported the traditional skills of caning and re-seating since 1850. This stainless-steel cane puller is chosen for its strength; for techniques, Charlotte Lahalle’s book (Éditions Fleurus) is a reference.
