- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What era rattan furniture is from varies. Furniture produced out of woven rattan was popular during the Victorian era as well as the 1970s.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024What rattan furniture is made of varies. Natural rattan furniture is crafted from the versatile fibers of a tropical palm native to Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Approximately 600 species of trees provide suitable raw materials for producing rattan furniture. Human-made or synthetic rattan is usually made of weather-resistant resin. Explore a selection of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024The best method for repairing rattan furniture depends on the extent of the damage. Small sections of broken or worn rattan can sometimes be cut away and replaced with new rattan weave. For large areas of damage, the entire piece may need to be recovered. An experienced furniture repair person can assess the extent of the damage and recommend the best approach to repairing and restoring your furniture. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of rattan furniture.
- Is rattan furniture worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Many furniture lovers believe that rattan furniture is worth it.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between rattan and bamboo furniture comes down to materials. Bamboo is a wood-like material derived from perennial grasses in the Bambusoideae subfamily, while rattan is a stiff material made from vines in the Calamoideae subfamily. Generally, bamboo is heavier and less flexible than rattan, making for weightier furniture. Due to its flexibility, rattan can be woven into wicker or used in its raw form to build furniture. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of rattan and bamboo furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, not all rattan furniture can be left outside. Some pieces may fade, warp or develop mold if left unprotected in uncovered outdoor areas. In fact, some rattan furniture needs to only be used indoors. You'll find a variety of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023The difference between rattan and cane furniture lies in the materials used. Although rattan and cane come from the same type of vine plant, cane undergoes a stripping process that rattan doesn't. As a result, cane is thinner than rattan. Shop a collection of rattan and cane furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between rattan and wicker is that rattan is the material whereas wicker is the type of weave. Therefore, a wicker weave can be made using rattan, along with other materials. Shop a collection of wicker and rattan furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
AutomatonMarch 11, 2021In terms of collectibility, the best make of Rattan Furniture was Gabriella Crespi with her 'Rising Sun' line. While Paul Frankl's designs are also highly coveted and valuable, Crespi has far greater rarity and mystique with her 'Rising Sun' collection. In addition, Frankl's designs were much more copied over the decades whereas Crespi's rattan line is more unique and therefore valuable to collectors and dealers alike.- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023How long rattan furniture lasts depends on a variety of factors, including where you use and store it, how you care for it and the quality of the manufacturing. Outdoors, rattan furniture usually doesn’t last as long, but indoors, pieces can remain beautiful for many years, especially when wiped clean regularly. Rattan and wicker furniture tend to get a bit of a bad rap, often associated with kitschy 1980s decor or denigrated as something found in the home of a dowdy great aunt. But the long-lasting natural medium, made popular in Great Britain and the United States during the Victorian era, is a master of disguise, able to mingle with a wide range of styles when done the right way. On 1stDibs, shop a range of rattan furniture.
- What is 1950s furniture called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 20241950s furniture is called vintage furniture. Some pieces produced during this period may be considered mid-century modern based on their characteristics. Mid-century modern design refers to the variety of modernism that rose to prominence in the 1940s and ’50s. It displays many of the characteristics of the earlier versions of modernism, including simple forms and a focus on functionality. Other traits common in mid-century modern furniture include unadorned silhouettes, clean lines and mixed materials, emphasizing wood, wool, steel and plastic. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of 1950s furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024How long rattan furniture lasts indoors depends on a few factors. Quality craftsmanship will largely determine the lifespan of a particular piece. However, how frequently the furniture gets used and how well you care for and maintain it will also impact its longevity. Generally, rattan furniture can remain in good condition for at least 10 years. Following the manufacturer's care instructions can further help preserve your piece. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of rattan furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023As far as determining whether aluminum or rattan is better for outdoor furniture, one should keep in mind that genuine rattan is not waterproof. If you’re thinking about using rattan outdoor furniture in a patio or garden area and you live in a region that is susceptible to inclement weather, this material will most certainly rot if subjected to prolonged periods of rain or snow. Invest in a durable waterproof cover to protect your rattan outdoor furniture in the rain or, if you are able, store it away. Cast aluminum is a popular choice for outdoor furniture given that it is resistant to rust and it is a durable material. Find a selection of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024Whether wicker or rattan is better for outdoor furniture depends on whether you're referring to natural or synthetic wicker. Both natural wicker and rattan can become damaged when exposed to the elements. However, experts state that synthetic rattan may be slightly more durable than natural wicker. Synthetic or all-weather wicker made of resin is weather-resistant, so this type of wicker may outlast both natural rattan and wicker. Explore a wide range of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Rattan furniture is very durable, and some of it is designed to be used as outdoor furniture, but it is not impervious to rain. In fact, rattan furniture can be damaged and even destroyed if it’s not treated for weather. Treating your rattan furniture and protecting it from the elements is the best way to preserve its integrity and keep it in good shape. Shop a collection of rattan furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
