Bamboo Outdoor Furniture For Sale on 1stDibs

Many designers have produced at least one well-made option in this array of bamboo outdoor furniture over the years, but those crafted by Brown Jordan, McGuire Furniture Company and Ficks Reed are often thought to be among the most beautiful. You’ll find that an occasional piece of bamboo outdoor furniture may be too large for some spaces — a variety of smaller editions, measuring 0.4 across, are available at 1stDibs.

Finding the Right Building And Garden Elements for You

Choosing the right antique or vintage building and garden elements can prove pivotal when you’re working to beautify any room in your home or just put the finishing touches on a garden or other outdoor area.

It takes time and effort to improve your outdoor space or merely to bring an air of tranquility to an indoor area set aside for private relaxation or gathering with friends. The good news is that 1stDibs can help.

To introduce a sense of timelessness to a back patio or interior common area, choose cast-stone statues or sculptural busts for a dose of drama or select ornate architectural elements such as corbels, plaques or panels made of marble or iron. Elsewhere, find a focal point in your living room and create a “feature wall” by bringing pops of color into a corner with handmade antique ceramic tiles.

It helps when design changes like these have a practical upside too.

Victorian cast-iron stair treads hearken back to a time when adding decorative details to your property was a priority. While lending an attractive appearance to an exterior staircase, these safeguards render the steps slip-resistant for those coming and going. And as one good stylistic choice usually leads to another, pairing your sophisticated treads with a coupling of 19th-century hand-forged andirons would be a thoughtful, durable touch for any courtyard or comfortable lounge space, be they intended for an indoor fireplace or a patio firepit.

Where the garden is concerned, any sophisticated garden ornaments you select should work with nature, not against it. Wrought-iron garden gates will simply refuse to be relegated to the background. Instead, they’ll draw attention to your painstakingly sculpted hedges and colorful flora. When paired with a sparse arrangement of other tasteful additions, such as a stone planter, garden stool or other welcoming pieces of outdoor seating, the effect can be transformative.

On 1stDibs, find a sprawling collection of antique garden furniture and architectural elements that meet every need. Our offerings include everything from sculptural bathroom fixtures to flooring ideas to pedestals and columns designed in a variety of styles and much more.

On 1stDibs, shop a collection of bamboo furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023

However, bamboo furniture needs proper care to stand the test of time and should usually be stored indoors during cold winter weather. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of bamboo furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
    What outdoor furniture is called varies. Garden furniture is one of the most widely used terms for furniture used outdoors. Other names include patio furniture, lawn furniture, exterior furniture and al fresco furniture. You can also simply refer to it as outdoor furniture. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of antique, vintage and contemporary outdoor furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    There is no single type or brand that can be called the strongest outdoor furniture.

    Most outdoor furniture is water-resistant but not waterproof. In other words, it resists, but does not prevent, water penetration.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, bamboo furniture can indeed be restored. Repair any mildly broken pieces with some heavy duty wood glue. The exterior can also be refinished by sanding off dirt and grime and repainting the piece. You’ll find a large collection of bamboo items from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    To identify bamboo furniture, use a magnifying glass to examine the grain pattern on your piece. Bamboo has a distinct grain consisting of short, straight lines and small nodes running in the same direction across a surface. Whirled or irregular grain patterns typically indicate that a piece is wood, not bamboo. If you wish to learn who produced your furniture, search the item for a maker's mark and then use trusted online resources to identify the manufacturer. Should you need any help with the identification process, consider using the services of a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. On 1stDibs, find a collection of bamboo furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, bamboo furniture is incredibly durable and as long as it’s cared for properly, it can last a long time.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    The best timber for outdoor furniture is said to be three softwoods — cypress, redwood, and cedar. These have natural moisture-wicking characteristics and make excellent outdoor furniture alternatives. However, top-of-the-line hardwoods, such as teak, are also considered to be great for outdoor furniture. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique and modern outdoor furniture.

On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage wooden outdoor furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The 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, 2022
    The first step in determining if an item is vintage bamboo is to first make sure it’s bamboo. Bamboo is inflexible, so if there are curved shapes in the design it is actually rattan, not bamboo. Your next step is to understand the style of the piece of furniture, the brand, and look for telltale signs that it is an authentic piece from that brand. Shop a range of antique and modern bamboo furniture on 1stDibs.
