rush seat
Plaited marsh grass
A rush seat is a chair seat woven from dried rushes—the long, grass-like plants that grow in wetlands.
The technique creates a durable, slightly textured surface with a characteristic crisscross pattern.
Rush seats are traditional in country furniture styles: The old ladder-back chair had a worn rush seat.
