What you are calling cane furniture is actually willow. The chair in the second photo, was very likely made by my grandfather, William(Bill) Weiesnbach.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. The caption that called it "cane" is the original one provided by the Library of Congress. Interesting to know it's willow.
