Wicker Furniture
Synthetic Wicker and Vinyl Wicker Furniture
Wicker may seem like a recent innovation in furniture, but you might be surprised to find out that it has been used for centuries with wicker found in ancient Egypt and carbon being dated at 5,000 years old. Excavated pieces include chairs, wig boxes, and chests. The Egyptians appeared to utilize reed as the predominant material in the construction of their wicker furniture. In addition, what looks to be tub-shaped wicker work has been depicted in ancient Roman bas-reliefs.
Wicker enjoyed immense popularity in England in the 16th and 17th centuries during Victorian times. Wicker came to be seen as airy, natural, and clean representing and signifying country living and good health. Because of this association, white wicker furniture as well as black wicker furniture was soon available for outdoor use for people to fully enjoy their gardens, gazebos, or expansive front yards. Enclosed porches and the creation of sunrooms came into vogue, and wicker furniture became an essential part of bringing the outdoors in.
It’s really no surprise since wicker is lightweight and appropriate for summer. The open weave of wicker prevents it from retaining heat, even after long hours of sitting in the sun. Wicker’s natural “give” acts to cradle your body for total comfort. Coupled with contemporary designs and materials, the vinyl wicker furniture of today is long-lasting, durable, and easy to maintain. For these reasons, it is the ideal type of furniture for vacation homes, ocean views, poolside areas, and gardens.
