The ash frame itself should strip well. Most ashcraft did not have burns to simulate rattan... the ash wood itself is a pretty convincing substitute.

And I wouldn't attempt to use stripper on the twisted paper bindings.... you'll destroy them for sure. Best bet is... if the bindings are in good shape, repaint them a natural color, else look into replacing them. And don't try to strip close around the binding.... carefully remove them first!

Good luck with the set
