I am refinishing an antique bedroom set. I don't know what the wood is but it is very heavy. It had three coats of white and gold paint on it. The head board stands about 5 feet high and the footboard about 4 and a half. There is a vanity and bench seat that matches. All were made by Toronto Furniture. There were inserts of rattan about four and a half feet long by 12 inches high in head, foot board and on the seat of bench. I can't seem to find any anywhere. Please help, before I fill it in with fabric. I would really like to keep it as original as possible. Thanks

Visit these sites and ask fora free catalog. Both stock rattan and may have what you want.
