In this blog post, we will delve deeper into the Paysanne chair’s history, construction, and its place in contemporary homes.

Reviving Old Porch Rockers and Chairs: The Caning Canada Touch



At Caning Canada, we have a passion for breathing new life into old, worn-out furniture and there’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of restoring a classic porch rocker or chair. With our thicker gauge laced Danish cord, some elbow grease, and a splash of paint, we transform tired pieces into beautiful, functional treasures that fit perfectly in your cottage, in front of a cozy fireplace, or even in a nursery for rocking your little angels.



The Beauty of Restoration


Many of us have fond memories associated with rocking chairs and porch rockers—those lazy summer afternoons spent swaying back and forth, or quiet moments cradling a newborn. Unfortunately, over time these cherished pieces can show signs of wear and tear. That’s where Caning Canada comes in. We specialize in restoring your favorite rockers and chairs, ensuring they continue to hold a special place in your home for years to come.



What is Danish Cord?


Danish cord is a type of paper cord that has been a staple in Scandinavian furniture design for decades. Known for its strength and flexibility, this material is primarily used for weaving chair seats, stools, and other furniture items. At Caning Canada, we take pride in using FSC-certified, sustainable paper cord that not only looks beautiful but also support responsible forestry practices.


Visual Appeal


A Touch of Elegance


One of the most alluring aspects of Danish cord is its aesthetic versatility. With our three distinct colours—natural, white, and black—you can choose the perfect hue to complement your furniture and interior design style.



- Natural Paper Cord: Made from unbleached paper, the natural cord showcases a warm, earthy tone that beautifully highlights the textures of woven patterns. It exudes a rustic charm, perfect for those looking to embrace a more organic aesthetic in their home.




- White Paper Cord: Our bleached white cord offers a crisp, clean look that brightens any space. This color is ideal for modern or minimalist designs, providing a fresh contrast against darker wood tones and adding a touch of sophistication.
