The history of Wicker Furniture?

By admin | July 10, 2007

pchickie asked:


I’m trying to find out when wicker furntiture really became popular in use. A coworker and I have been debating whether or not it would have been a practical and available furniture during the pirate days, probably in the time frame of the 1600’s to early 1700’s. Does anyone know?
