Rattan cannot be machine woven around a curve, so a chair back is somebody sitting with a former and a bundle of soaked cane for most of a day. The consequence is that no two pieces are identical, that the binding at the joints varies slightly, and that a weave that is perfectly regular is usually a sign of extruded plastic rather than good workmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 760mm wide by 780mm deep by 1600mm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat or working height: seat height 420mm with the cushion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: steam bent rattan pole, 40mm at the hoop, over a hardwood core at the seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: hand woven, close weave on the seat and open lattice on the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: rattan given a thinned white finish that sinks into the pores and leaves the grain visible, which is what separates a whitewash from a coat of white paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad rating: tested to 140kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor or outdoor: Indoors, or a covered veranda or conservatory that stays dry. Natural rattan is not garden furniture and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a chair that will go grey, swell, split and unravel inside two seasons.

Two or three times a year wipe it over with a barely damp cloth and let it dry away from a radiator. Rattan does not like being dry any more than it likes being wet, so a piece that lives next to a radiator or in a room with the heating on all winter will benefit from a light mist of water once a month, which sounds like an old wives' tale and is the single most useful thing anyone will tell you about it. If a strand lifts, do not pull it. Damp it, press it back and hold it with masking tape overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe boho end of the range, which mostly means texture. A woven piece next to a plain one reads as considered and three woven pieces in a row read as a garden centre, so the rule we give people is one large woven piece per wall and as many small ones as you like. Works particularly well against a dark wall, where the light catches the weave and the piece stops disappearing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rattan Republic","offers":[{"title":"Natural linen cushions","offer_id":58674773131645,"sku":"RRP-STC-018-LN","price":949.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Off white cotton cushions","offer_id":58674773164413,"sku":"RRP-STC-018-CT","price":949.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive linen cushions","offer_id":58674773197181,"sku":"RRP-STC-018-OL","price":989.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"No cushions","offer_id":58674773229949,"sku":"RRP-STC-018-NC","price":829.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/1398\/4893\/files\/Emperor_Chair_with_a_Woven_Halo_Back_in_Whitewashed_Rattan.jpg?v=1789052209","url":"https:\/\/rattanrepublic.com\/products\/emperor-chair-with-a-woven-halo-back-in-whitewashed-rattan","provider":"Rattan Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
