November Design Crush - caned furniture

I love the look and texture of caned furniture - looking back, I wish I had grabbed a couple more of my grandmother's caned chairs. She was a creative type and tried her hand in this ancient technique. Caning dates back to the Egyptians and was later used in England, Holland and France. Caned furniture is light, durable and easy to clean. Take a peek at a few modern day examples. I especially like it mixed with black paint and dark limed wood.
