Brief Introduction and Benefits of Wicker Furniture

Wicker furniture is extremely popular the world over, since it is elegant to look at, comfortable to use and practical to install in different settings. Archaeologists have found that wicker furniture dated back to the Egyptian Empire. The pieces of furniture found during excavations were chairs, boxes, hassocks and chests, made from reed, rush and papyrus.

The primary material used in the manufacture of natural wicker furniture is cane or ‘rattan’, as it is called in certain parts of the world. Wicker is a weaving process, not a material. Nowadays, an all weather wicker is also used in the manufacture of furniture, especially for the outdoor Australian lifestyles. It is made with aluminium frames, which are treated to withstand the vagaries of outdoors.

Furniture made from natural wicker is very attractive to look at, and can also be kept clean easily, by means of a brush attached to a vacuum cleaner, followed by a gentle wipe with a damp cloth. Besides that, one can also apply furniture polish or natural lacquer, which would give the furniture a brand new look. All weather furniture is easier to clean, with the use of just a wet piece cloth. All types of furniture should be stored indoors when not in use.

The Egyptians were evidently the first to make and use cane furniture. They were followed by the Romans and then other countries of Europe also started using cane and rattan furniture. The American got to learn of the use of these materials only in the mid Nineteenth Century, but once they started cane furniture, they took their expertise to the rest of the world in a very big way. Today, you will find furniture made out of cane, rattan and other natural material in every nook and corner of the world.
