COLLECTING & RESTORING WICKER FURNITURE . By Richard Saunders, Crown Publishers, N.Y., 1976.

This scarce text ”will be indispensable to the collector, antiques dealer, and furniture restorer. In addition to tracing the development of wicker furniture from ancient times well into the twentieth century, the author provides useful advice on evaluating and caring for old wickerwork. All the major types and styles of wicker furniture are pictured, as well as a great many articles that are especially rare or unusual such as lamps, easels, picture frames, and tea carts. The reproduction of old catalog listings will help the reader identify scarce pieces that—even when they were first made—commanded premium prices…. Careful step-by-step directions and close-up photographs made the process clear enough for any amateur to follow. An appendix lists major supply firms in various parts of the country that carry the necessary materials. Comparative prices [1976] are given for pre-1900 and post-1900 wicker furniture.”
