Marsh Grass
The Natural Tradition for Caning
- Available in bundles and bales.
Marsh grass, also known as river straw or single-ply cord, is an excellent natural fiber obtained from plants that grow spontaneously along waterways. We select only first-quality marsh grass with a round and regular profile, ideal for handmade caning of chairs, stools and rustic furnishing accessories.
This material is obtained from the weaving of plant fibers grown in particularly humid areas, which give the product exceptional flexibility and resistance. Hand weaving with marsh grass bundles represents an ancient art that we continue by offering a healthy, resistant product designed to last over time, guaranteeing the authentic aesthetic that only real natural grass cord can provide.
Artisanal Tradition and Timeless Weaving in River Straw
River Straw, commonly known as marsh grass, is a plant that grows spontaneously along waterways. The humid areas of the Far East represent the most flourishing place in the world for this vegetation, ensuring a flexible and long-lasting fiber.
Strictly hand-harvested, marsh grass is processed by weaving the fibers together to create grass cords of various thicknesses and exceptional resistance, packaged in 5 kg bundles. Chairs, sofas and armchairs made with this material are not just furnishing objects, but pieces of history that evoke the charm of the past with a rustic and authentic touch of style.
The Art of Caning with Marsh Grass Bundles
There are several weaving styles that allow master caners to express their manual skills. Thanks to the superior quality of our marsh grass bundles, it is possible to perform ancient processing techniques, ensuring perfect structural hold on chairs and sofas of all kinds. We supply a raw material that enhances manufacturing craftsmanship, guaranteeing results that satisfy the most demanding restoration professionals and designers.
Technical Features of Marsh Grass for Caning
The superior quality of our river straw can be recognized by the precision of its gauge: the thickness of the straw thread starts from a diameter of 3 mm and can reach a width of up to 8 mm. This marsh grass fiber, ensuring absolute resistance for the seat even with intensive use, stands out as an excellent choice for the art of professional weaving.
The handmade caning of “green sedge” (the technical name used in the craft sector to indicate marsh grass) helps preserve valuable techniques that risked disappearing with mechanization. Every phase, from harvesting to selecting the ideal period to guarantee optimal thread thickness and length, is aimed at offering a carefully assembled product ready to be exported worldwide as a symbol of manufacturing quality.
