Rattan and Wicker Repair
Wicker is actually woven from many different materials; some of the most common include cane, reed, and rattan. Rattan, a climbing palm indigenous to tropical rain forests of Asia, is the largest source of material used to create wicker. Cane is extracted from the stem of larger rattan trees. Reed is a term assigned to swamp grasses similar to straw, which are prevalent in early American Wicker chairs.
