Questions About French Wicker Furniture
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Yes, wicker furniture is in style depending on where you live. For instance, if you live on a coast, wicker furniture is quite popular. It’s considered a timeless material that’s always in style. Find a variety of wicker furniture for sale on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because wicker can deteriorate very quickly, natural wicker furniture should not be kept outside. Even if you apply water-proofing spray, the furniture will not be fully protected from moisture, mold, and sun.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    What you call fake wicker furniture varies. Wicker-look pieces typically feature resin construction, so some people refer to these as resin wicker. You may also see people use the names all-weather wicker, synthetic wicker and man-made wicker. Explore a wide variety of wicker furniture from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    All-weather wicker, commonly known as resin wicker, is made primarily for use in outdoor patio furniture. It is made of synthetic material, usually polyethylene, and is designed to seem like genuine wicker. All-weather wicker is durable, mold-resistant and easy to clean. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary wicker outdoor furniture from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify vintage wicker furniture, first try looking for a maker's marking, usually found under tabletops or seats. If you find a marking, you can use trusted online resources to determine which company or artisan crafted your furniture. Then, you can read further to determine when they were active and producing pieces like yours. To be vintage, your furniture must be at least 20 but no more than 99 years old. If you don't see a marking or have trouble conducting research, consider having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist you. Find an assortment of vintage wicker furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    What oil you should use on wicker furniture varies. For best results, consult the care instructions that accompanied your piece for specific instructions and product recommendations. Depending on the properties of your piece, linseed oil, lemon oil or another natural plant oil may be the best option. Find a diverse assortment of wicker furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Whether wicker furniture is good for outside depends on where you intend to put it and what type of wicker it is. Wicker woven out of natural materials can be damaged by wet weather, so it is best kept in covered outdoor areas or brought indoors between uses. However, synthetic wicker made out of resin can typically hold up to the effects of weather exposure. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of wicker furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    The best paint to use on wicker furniture is enamel paint. To paint, hold the can at least 8 inches away and move back and forth for even coverage.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024
    Whether 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 ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Wet wicker furniture can lose its structural support, and mold and mildew may form on it. You can, however, treat wicker to waterproof it and prevent mold and mildew.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Some popular French furniture styles of the 19th century include Directoire, Empire and Restoration. The Regency style popular from 1715 to 1730 is also well known. Many styles share their names with the monarchs who ruled during the period. Examples include the Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of French furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    French furniture is usually just called French furniture in English. In French, someone might say "les meubles français," which translates directly to "French furniture." However, there are names for furniture styles inspired by the furniture produced in France. French Provincial is the name for pieces made in or inspired by craftsmen from the Loire Valley or in Lyon. Furniture produced in this style often shows off scalloped carvings and curving cabriole legs. French royal furniture is the general term for furnishings made for the monarchs of France or inspired by these pieces. An example is Louis XVI furniture, which often includes clean lines and carved details such as scrolls and acanthus flourishes that were inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. Find a wide variety of French furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To know if your French furniture is provincial, examine its decorative flourishes. Provincial furniture often showed off a white painted finish with gold gilt accents. Many pieces feature carvings depicting mythological subjects or floral motifs. On 1stDibs, find a collection of expertly vetted French provincial furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    In French, the term for a writing desk that often featured a drop-down writing surface is secretaire. This type of desk is called a secretary desk in English. Simply put, a secretary desk is a multifunctional piece of furniture with a hinged writing surface that folds open or drops down. When the leaf is folded out, small inner storage compartments, which are called pigeonholes, cubbies, recesses or drawers, are revealed. On 1stDibs, shop antique secretary desks from some of the world's top sellers.
