Centuries ago, wicker was the primary material used to craft various items in ancient Egypt and China. But it wasn’t until the 1800s that woven-rattan became a mainstay in the United States. The Victorian motif that wicker often personifies has made it a stylish addition to both indoor and outdoor rooms.
Wicker is timeless and can be mixed with many different materials, finishes and colors. It’s also very durable although it does need to be sheltered from natural outdoor elements. These days, many furniture manufacturers are giving wicker a more diverse, modern twist which makes it even more appealing to the average consumer. It’s also a great furniture choice no matter what outdoor seating trends are hot right now.
