American Rattan informs customers that rattan is one of the oldest natural furniture materials in use today and unlike bamboo, which is hollow, rattan is a solid timber vine. Manufacturing a wicker chair entails a weaving process. A machine cuts the inside of the rattan pole into pieces small enough in diameter for the weaving.
Due to the nature of rattan, splits and discoloration of the poles are to be expected and even add a unique beauty to the handcrafted wicker chair products. Most rattan and wicker furniture originate from Southeast Asia and is manufactured by hand. After import, the products are carefully inspected before assembly and they are then finished in the US.
American Rattan can offer conversation chairs, which are S-shaped wicker sofas that in the 19th century allowed courting couples to sit face to face without touching. The airier, more open woven look of a wicker chair began in the 20th century and largely due to rising costs in labor and tariff increases on imported rattan. The open weaving is most often found on chaise lounges and wicker chair products designed for use by hotels. Open weave wicker chair items of this period are usually referred to as Bar Harbor. American Rattan advises customers that to prevent a dust buildup, a feather duster or the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner should be used and the rattan furniture and wicker chair items can occasionally be wiped with a damp cloth and a mild household cleaner.
