What is the difference between wicker and resin wicker?
1 Answer
The difference between wicker and resin wicker comes down to the source of the materials. Genuine or natural wicker is a woven material produced out of rattan, bamboo, reed, willow and similar fibers. Resin wicker is a man-made material composed of polymers. As a result, resin wicker tends to be more resistant to the effects of weather than naturally derived wicker. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of wicker furniture.

French Mid-Century Wicker Basket with Lid, 1950s Elegant Storage
Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR
This elegant French Mid-Century Modern wicker basket dates to the 1950s and combines refined design with highly practical storage. The generously sized woven wicker container is fitted with a removable conical lid and raised on a slender black tubular-metal tripod base, a distinctive feature associated with postwar French modernist furniture and decorative design.
Crafted from tightly and securely woven wicker rather than rattan, the basket displays a warm natural tone that contrasts beautifully with the graphic black metal structure. Its balanced proportions, sculptural silhouette, and lightweight appearance allow it to function as both a useful household object and an eye-catching decorative accent.
