The wicker furniture industry was born on American soil, not in the Orient as so many people believe. The confusion may come from the fact that the Rattan palm grows wild in the Far East, or it may come from the abundance of poor quality wicker furniture imported from the Far East. The rattan palm from which cane and reed are derived, grows like a vine and can reach a height of six hundred feet, growing in the jungles of the Far East.
It is important to note that rattan and reed are far superior, but are not the only materials used to make wicker furniture. Willow, seagrass, and a man made product called fiber are among the materials used to weave wicker furniture. In future columns, we will explore their differences.
WICKER WISDOMS #2
In the 1840's a young man named Cyrus Wakefield became fascinated with the rattan that was used to pack the cargo ships and was then discarded on the docks of Bostons' harbor. He began elaborate experiments designing furniture with rattan. Cyrus Wakefield was destined to become the father of the Amercian wicker furniture industry. He established the Wakefield Rattan Company in 1855.
Today, it is possible to occasionally find a piece of Wakefield Rattan Company furniture. These pieces are highly sought after by collectors.
WICKER WISDOMS #3
Cyrus Wakefield, the father of the American wicker furniture industry, was consumed with the elaborate designs he was creating out of rattan. He realized the inner pith of the whole rattan plant, (reed) had tremendous flexibility therefore enabling him to create ornate, Victorian designs. Throughout the 1860's the Wakefield Rattan Company cornered the market on the wicker furniture industry.
Cyrus Wakefield bacame a very rich man and after a generous donation to construct a new town hall the citizens of South Reading, Mass. voted to rename their town Wakefield, Mass in his honor in 1868.
We usually have a selection of fine Wakefield Rattan Company wicker pieces available. The quality and craftsmanship attest to the Wakefield Rattan Companys high standards. Both Wakefield Rattan Company and Haywood Brothers Company pieces are rare and highly sought after by collectors.
WICKER WISDOMS #4
Wakefield Rattan Company had fierce competition from another Massachussetts furniture maker, Heywood Brothers Company of Gardner, Mass.. The intense rivalry from the 1870's throught the late 1890's, encouraged both furniture designers to create exotic and elaborate wicker pieces. Their creativity and craftsmanship were unmatched. This was the Golden Age of Wicker.
