The history of wicker baskets

Wicker baskets are woven and this is an ancient technique that goes way back. Because wicker is quite perishable material, ancient baskets have not been found. Nevertheless, there are indications that wicker baskets were made and used far back in time. For example, prints have been found showing wickerwork. In prehistoric times wickerwork was used for all kinds of purposes, such as braiding walls of houses but also baskets for storage. In these times wickerwork was also popular because no tools were needed, everything was made by hand.

What are wicker baskets made of

In terms of appearance, there are many different types of wicker baskets, this appearance comes from shape, color but also from the type of material used. Not all wicker baskets are necessarily made of wicker, there are many different materials that baskets are made of. The most common material is Toe. Toe is a species of willow of which there are three different varieties:

• Grey toe: This is the natural and unprocessed product, with Grey toe its bark is not removed and therefore is dark in color.
• Buf Teen: These branches are boiled and after 24 hours they are peeled with a machine so that the bark is off. The color of these branches is then reddish brown, this is a common color in wicker baskets.
• White Toe: This variety is the most common, the toe is placed in water so that it continues to grow. Then the bark can also be easily taken off. The color is quite light.

Rattan is another commonly used material for wicker baskets. Rattan originally comes from the Rattan palm. It is the stems of this palm that is used for weaving. The Rattan palm is a climbing palm species and grows 25 to 40 feet in one year! Rattan also has another processed form called Pitrite. So at its core, Pitrite is Rattan but because it is cut at different thicknesses it takes on a different appearance. Also, Pitcane is often bleached to give it a white or lighter color.

Finally, reed is also widely used, the reed is especially widely used for indoor baskets. This is because reed is a lot less hard, as reed is a somewhat more fragile material. This does make cane enormously popular for baskets because cane is easy to color and shape. So there is always a suitable wicker basket for your green friend.
