Wicker furnishings manufactured during the heyday of its popularity are highly sought by collectors today. Unique designs provide irresistible charm in hundreds of pieces made of can, rattan, reed, rush, and willow that are displayed in full-color photographs from private collections. The evolution of wicker furniture styles from 1870 to 1930 and preeminent manufacturers of the period (such as Dryad Works, Bielecky Brothers, Heywood Brothers and Wakefield Rattan Company, and Lloyd Manufacturing Company) are carefully explained with pertinent examples of their work. A useful discussion of care and restoration of antique pieces is included. A wide variety of wicker furniture styles are highlighted, from ornate Victorian to Art Deco. The chairs, rockers, tables, baby carriages, sofas, loveseats, desks, and ferneries that you've seen tucked in grandmother's attic or prominently displayed at the local antique store are very valuable. Take a stroll through the decades when wicker furniture was a staple inside and outside homes all across the world. Newly revised price guide included.
