This is a Beautiful 1 of 4 old Mule Ear Chairs I just re-did the Raw Hide (Rawhide) on out of a set of four I Re-Caned the Seat for a new Client.
I don't get a lot of these, but they are interesting to do. They have lots of character.
Probably made in the late 1800's.
The Rawhide is 3/8 - 1/2" wide, cut from tough steer hide especially saved for chair seats. I try to use a continuous strand for each chair Aprox (30') but sometimes a splice is

necessary. I Soak the rawhide in 110 Degree warm water for 6-48 hours, so it will stretch sufficiently to weave a tight mule eared chairs seat frame. This is the exact same
material that your dog's "Rawhide" Chew Toy bones are made from. After all the soaking, the material is just about right for stretching over the chair frame when its the same consistency as when "Rover" has been chewing on the chew bone all evening... A very Slimy material, very fun material to work with!
