For your largest, most varied, highest quality antique wicker furniture, come to Antique Wicker near Bar Harbor, Maine. We stock between 400 and 500 pieces of the finest antique wicker furniture.

The pieces we offer our clients are in good to great condition.

After many years in Bernard we closed that shop and are now located on the web and at 270 Main Street in Southwest Harbor with some of our wicker plus lots of other antiques and collectables. When looking at our antique wicker keep in mind that many pieces can serve dual purposes: Planters can work in a bathroom for towels, with a copper liner they make great bars or ice buckets. Flat top sewing baskets made great end or night tables with hidden storage. They also work in a bathroom by bringing the handle forward for towels and storing items inside and on the lower shelf again have a liner made fill with ice and use to set a dish in that needs to be on ice (lobster tails....you know we are in Maine) Wood baskets are perfect for magazines and newspapers, but don't forget the throw you like to keep handy.
What about putting guest items in it and leaving it on the guest bed. Place a love seat in the front hall or pulled up to the table works great.

to furnish a covered porch. His web site ... is terrific and his prices eminently fair. enthused, that I wound up ordering a few thousand dollars of furniture over a several week period, sight unseen. I must admit that, at the time, I did worry slightly, in the back of my mind, but Wayne's responsive communications and friendly tone were always reassuring. I need not haveWayne's business partner drove all the pieces up to Long Island. It was all better than described and photographed on the web site, and designer friends of mine have been stunned by the quality of what IWayne has also undertaken a search for me, and last year found a fabulous wicker tete a tete, which he wonderfully restored, painted andMy only disappointment is that the porch is now filled with wicker, limiting what I can buy from Wayne. A designer friend who placed the furniture has asked to have the porch photographed for his portfolio. It really should, however, be in Wayne's portfolio.
