One of the most frequently asked questions in the field of cane furniture is ‘what is the difference between cane furniture and Rattan furniture’?
Rattan is a descendant from a tropical palm tree. Rattan is just like a tree, it grows upwards before bending over to carry on growing on the ground. The growth reminds you of a slithery snake, weaving its way through the undergrowth.
The Rattan plant will be cut back once it reaches a certain age, dried and used by manufacturers in the wicker furniture and rattan furniture industry to create exquisite conservatory furniture.
Rattan is a material which can be easily processed into the shape of a chair or settee for use in the conservatory.
Wicker is the title of a weaving process that could be made from either straw or bamboo.
Another interesting fact is that Rattan vines can be peeled into thin slates by a machine and then used as a decorative trim. Rattan can also be useful in hiding any rough seams on a piece of furniture which has already been through the wicker process.
Bamboo is used as a trim but not as a ‘form’ due to bamboo cane being hollow, if steamed the bamboo would split and crack.
