What is wicker?

Wicker is a general term for woven strands of both natural and synthetic materials to create baskets or furniture. Wicker furniture has been around for many centuries throughout the world.

How did wicker become so popular?

In America, it became a staple of the American household. In the late 1800s, The Heywood Brothers Company and the Wakefield Rattan Company were the top companies in the market. They were famous for creating detailed and elegant designs. Later on, the two behemoths merged and would continue to control the wicker market in America.

The introduction of the Lloyd loom machine helped transform the wicker industry. The loom machine wove panels of wicker to replace hand weaving. This dramatically reduced the cost of making furniture while improving designs and efficiency.

Wicker furniture is highly functional and durable as evident in the many Victorian pieces still used today. Intricate aesthetic designs still influence furniture designers today.
