, ornate flourishes and overall decadence are just a few favorite features found in Victorian wicker furniture. While other materials were in favor at the time, wicker saw a peak in popularity between the 1860s and 1880s. With new manufacturing processes in place, woven fibers took on new dimensions in romanticized styling. Ladies and gentlemen of the period flocked to collect these fanciful designs from emerging designers and producers. Reproductions in Victorian wicker furniture are sturdier than their early counterparts. They feature the same elaborate characteristics that create an instant focal point in living rooms, bedrooms and sunrooms. Many are inspired by designs from the Heywood-Wakefield Company, which was a merger of two rival manufacturers. These pieces, such as the Aunt Millie rocker, offer an infusion of personality in their designs. Our other roomy rocking chairs offer added character with wide rolled arms and high backs featuring serpentine shaping or exaggerated domes.
