Wicker furniture might be centuries old, but it still brings to mind a classic yet casual style. For this reason, wicker living room furniture continues to be a favorite.
The Egyptian Empire in 3000 BC founded wicker and this practical but lovely furniture type experienced a resurgence in the 16th and 17th centuries (Victorian Age). Simplistic but beautiful, wicker can be woven into many different designs, which is why it remains so popular. Although originally made of reed, wicker today is usually made of resin, a poly blend, to give it durability while making it low maintenance. Three popular types of wicker are on the market today – natural, loom and resin.
Natural is just as it sounds – made from the skin of a rattan and then hand-sanded and rubbed. Although called ‘natural,’ this type is usually given some kind of stain and then sealed with a clear coat of varnish to preserve the furniture. Loom wicker is made on a loom where the strands can be spun tighter than the human hand for a smoother and better finish, making it last longer. Resin wicker is made of durable poly and can survive most temperatures with the exception of intense cold.
