The story of wicker
Though not instantly perceptible, wicker has had an immeasurable influence on not only design but civilization itself. The first evidence of wicker dates back to ancient Egypt, where its practical and ornamental use parallels the wicker we know and love today.
So popular was wicker that it burst into ancient Rome and Persia, where the weaving technique was widely applied to high-end pieces that only the wealthy could lay claim to.
Surviving into the iron age, it’s believed that the Celts cultivated their emblematic tribal designs using wicker as a guide.
And finally, we come to the modern age. Wicker may have weaved its way through history and right into Ikea catalogs, but it’s never been more center stage.
Wicker is the technique, not the material
Climbing vine-like plants are bent or woven into various shapes using the wicker technique. The material used is soft, malleable, and lightweight. However, the tight, precise, and repetitive weaving reinforces the pliable material to make for a robust yet portable piece – often becoming a family heirloom.
This Antiqued Handwoven Cane Wicker Accent Chair is perhaps one of the best examples of the versatility of wicker furniture. Let’s delve into how such a singular piece could be integrated into the home.
