Plural of caner; multiple people who work with cane as a material to make or repair furniture and other items.
Simple plural of 'caner,' following standard English pluralization. The profession of caning remained in high demand until mass-produced furniture became dominant in the 20th century.
Caners were common in every town until the 1950s, but the skill has nearly disappeared—fewer than a thousand master caners remain in the U.S., making it one of the rarest traditional crafts, yet a single hand-caned chair can sell for thousands.
