Questions About 1920s Wicker Furniture
- What is 1920s furniture called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024What 1920s furniture is called depends on its style. However, the most prominent design style of the decade was Art Deco. The term alone conjures visions of the Roaring Twenties, Machine Age metropolises, vast ocean liners, sleek typography and Prohibition-era hedonism. The iconic movement made an indelible mark on all fields of design throughout the 1920s and ’30s, celebrating society’s growing industrialization with refined elegance and stunning craftsmanship. Art Deco furniture often featured bold geometric lines, floral forms, shimmering mirrored finishes, sleek metal accents, and the use of expensive materials such as shagreen or marble as well as exotic woods such as mahogany, ebony and zebra wood. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Art Deco furniture.
- Is wicker furniture in style?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Yes, 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, 2021Because 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, 2024What 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, 2021All-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, 2024To 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, 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024What 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, 2024Whether 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.
- What do I wear to a 1920s party?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023To a 1920s party, you can wear a short fringed or beaded flapper dress, layers of long beaded or pearl necklaces, elbow-length gloves and a feathered headband. Another option is to wear an off-white men's suit. Shop a selection of vintage apparel on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022In the 1920s, flappers often wore straight, fitted dresses with plunging necklines and knee-length hems. Fringe was a common embellishment used at the time. Flappers also sported pumps and opted for bras and lingerie instead of corsets for undergarments. Shop a variety of vintage clothing on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023In the 1920s, fashionable colors included jewel tones. Fashion, jewelry, furniture and decorative objects often featured jade green, deep reds, amethyst purple, dusty mustard yellow and peacock blue. Find a range of 1920s-era jewelry and fashion on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023In the 1920s, brides often wore tubular-shaped slip dresses with a beaded tunic over top. Hemlines usually fell just below the knee or to the ankle, and many gowns had dropped waists. For headwear, brides often showed off veils attached to cloche or flapper-style headbands. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of wedding dresses from some of the world’s top boutiques.
- What era is 1920s jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023What era 1920s jewelry is depends on its design. Most people associate this decade with the Art Deco movement, which took inspiration from eclectic sources like Cubism, ancient Egypt and Native American, African and Asian motifs. However, some pieces produced during the 1920s are more in line with the style trends of earlier periods, such as Art Nouveau, Edwardian and Victorian. Explore a diverse assortment of 1920s jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024The clothing style in the 1920s that most people think of first is the flapper style. Women who dressed in this style sported loose-fitting, short dresses, often outfitted with drop waists and fringe. Small cloche hats and headbands were signature accessories of the flapper look. During the decade, pleated tennis skirts and cardigan sweater sets left the courts and became staples of some women's everyday styles. For men, soft collars replaced stiff, starched ones, and simple single and double-button suit jackets worn without waistcoats became trendy. Trousers also took on a new shape with wider-cut legs, and Oxford bags gained popularity. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of 1920s apparel and accessories.
- What are 1920s dresses called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The iconic dresses from the 1920s are called flapper dresses. This name comes from the term flapper, which was used to describe young women during the period who enjoyed personal fulfillment and independence in American cities, particularly as they gained the right to vote and enjoy other freedoms previously reserved for men. Flappers danced at jazz clubs and upended most societal restrictions placed on women at the time, and fashion statements typically attributed to flappers included short “bob” haircuts, higher hemlines and other then-audacious style choices. Find a selection of flapper dresses on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The 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, 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 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 ExpertMay 5, 2023The type of tile that was used in the 1920s was primarily ceramic. Many shapes were available, including basketweave, penny round, pinwheel, square and subway. Hexagon tiles, however, which are still on trend, have been in use in bathrooms since at least the early 1900s. The choice of hexagonal tiles is believed to have been tied to cleanliness, as the small pieces could stand up to aggressive cleaning and could be easily replaced if needed. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of tiles from some of the world's top sellers.
