We have inherited my in-laws dining set and I have a question about
the seats. The cording on them is not rattan but rather a rolled
paper. It doesn't look like an easily performed craft because the
weave piles up as it approaches the center of the seat. Are any of
you familiar with this sort of seating? What is it called? Where
would I look to have it redone? A specialty shop? TIA for your help.

That is called a rush seat. Depending where you are located you might find
an old timer that does it or you can try The Lighthouse for the Blind, if
you have one in your area. Usually anyone that does caning can do them.
It's a lost art
