Chair Caning Cornwall the Chair Repair Shop

The Chair Repair Shop is a small company situated in The Salt Cellar Workshops, Salt Cellar Hill, Porthleven. We have been using traditional materials and methods to restore and re-cane seats, backs and arms of chairs and sofas since 1980. Originally set up in West Yorkshire the business moved to Cornwall in the early 1990's All our work is sympathetic to the original and carried out to the highest standard.

Although traditional re-caning is our primary business we are able to re-upholster seats where required and re-seat using natural rush, willow and seagrass. We also re-seat early 20th century Danish chairs. We also undertake repairs to framework and refinish.

The Chair Repair Shop has had some interesting and challenging requests over the years including repairing a willow pony saddle, re-stringing Victorian glass bead curtains, re-covering Victorian velvet picture frames and re-covering light aircraft seats.
