Viennese Braid\u2014The Classic of Braiding Art<\/h3>\n

Viennese wickerwork, also known as Viennese rattan, is particularly common in historic Thonet chairs and valuable bentwood furniture. The characteristic hexagonal weave is still traditionally hand-woven in our workshop using high-quality natural rattan. The meticulous craftsmanship and the use of genuine rattan materials guarantee the authentic appearance and long-lasting durability of the restored chairs. <\/p>\n

Rattan Weaving for Antique Chairs<\/h3>\n

We often use sturdy rattan wickerwork when restoring antique chairs. This split rattan material allows for a variety of classic weaving patterns and is exceptionally sturdy. Traditional craftsmanship and careful material selection ensure that the restored wickerwork will last for many years.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n Professional Restoration Techniques <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Professional Restoration Steps<\/h3>\n

The restoration begins with a thorough analysis of the existing wickerwork. The old material is carefully removed, and we meticulously document the original weaving pattern. After carefully cleaning the frame groove and inspecting the wooden frame, we prepare the new materials. The natural rattan is specially soaked in water to achieve optimal flexibility for the weaving process. <\/p>\n

Damage Analysis and Restoration Plans<\/h3>\n

Every piece of historic chair wickerwork exhibits unique signs of damage. We often find torn wicker strips, worn-through areas, or material damaged by UV radiation. For each piece, we develop a customized restoration plan that combines the preservation of the historical substance with optimal functionality.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Traditional Material Processing<\/div>\n \n
Properly working with natural materials requires years of experience. With Viennese wickerwork in particular, applying the right amount of tension to the material is crucial for a perfect result. The wicker strips must be evenly moist and flexible to achieve a harmonious overall look.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n

Modern Restoration Methods<\/div>\n \n
In addition to traditional techniques, we also use modern methods of material preservation. Special treatments protect the restored weaving from premature aging. When using paper cord or synthetic materials, we ensure that the highest quality standards are met.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
