FAQs

Wickerwork dates back to ancient Egypt, where reeds and swamp grasses were woven into baskets and furniture. The craft saw a significant revival during the Victorian era and later through the Arts and Crafts movement, becoming popular for lightweight and durable domestic seating.

Traditional woven chairs are constructed using natural materials such as willow, rattan, cane, rush, and bamboo over a supporting timber or bamboo frame, utilising time-honoured basketry techniques.

Authentic period pieces often feature tightly hand-woven natural fibres showing consistent patina, wear patterns appropriate to age, traditional joinery methods, and absence of modern synthetic resins or plastic bindings.

A woven chair introduces organic texture and warmth to contemporary spaces. It can be paired with neutral textiles, layered with sheepskin or cushions, and placed in living rooms, conservatories, or bedrooms to create a relaxed, tactile focal point.

Wicker should be dusted regularly using a soft brush attachment. To prevent the natural fibres from drying out and cracking, wipe them occasionally with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, avoiding excessive moisture and direct sunlight.
