- What style is rattan furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The style of rattan furniture varies from piece to piece.

In modern homes, rattan pieces often complement coastal, organic, bohemian and modern tropical interior design styles. Shop a selection of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024The best method for repairing rattan furniture depends on the extent of the damage.

- 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 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.
AutomatonMarch 10, 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 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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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 ExpertApril 5, 2024To know if your furniture is antique, look for labels and markings that indicate the maker. From there, you can use trusted online resources to determine when they were active and examine images to try to estimate the age of your piece. Furniture produced 100 years ago or more is antique. You can also have your furniture assessed by an appraiser or antiques dealer to learn about its age. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of antique furniture.
- What makes furniture an antique?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2019
A piece of furniture is considered an antique if it is at least 100 years old.
- Is antique furniture in style?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Yes, antique furniture is in style. Many people appreciate the beauty and handcrafted character of antique furniture and love the idea of owning pieces with a rich history. Remember that style preferences are nothing if not fluid, meaning what's in one year may not be the next. So, in choosing the furniture you're planning to live with, you should pay less attention to interior design fads than to what speaks to you. That way, you can select pieces that will add long-term character to your home. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of antique furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The best finish for antique furniture is a matter of liking. But film finish is recommended by experts as it leaves a thick coat of film on the wood surface which protects wood from water and scratches. Shellac or varnish and water base are commonly used film finishes. Find an exquisite collection of antique, new and vintage furniture on 1stDibs
PAGODA REDOctober 7, 2020To determine the age of a Chinese furniture piece, look carefully at the joinery and finish. Natural expansion and contraction of the wood over time will cause a joint to protrude or retract, distorting a once-seamless fit. Antique lacquer finishes become crackled and worn over time. Areas of exposed wood, such as the underside of a table, the footrest of a chair, or the back of a cabinet should appear raw and dry compared to the finished surface. With use, the legs of tables and chairs become weathered near the bottom from precipitation and use.
