Do you have some antique wicker furniture and you’d like a wicker furniture appraisal so you know what it’s worth?
Maybe you want to sell the piece and get the best value or maybe you want to know for insurance purposes?
Or maybe you love wicker and are curious when it was made and by whom?
Need to know what material was used when your wicker furniture was created so you can clean and care for your wicker furniture properly?
Well, since I am not certified to give wicker furniture appraisals, I’m happy to report that the very well-known and respected former wicker repair expert, author of several books on the wicker furniture industry, and certified wicker appraiser Richard Saunders can help you instead!
Richard is listed in the Wicker category of my National Furniture Repair Directory™ in the State of Georgia.
When you send several pictures to Richard, he will give you a certified wicker furniture appraisal that you can later use as a basis for selling your antique wicker, for estate purposes, or even to establish value for insurance purposes.
Contact Richard today to have him “do his magic,” with a wicker furniture appraisal, you’ll be glad you did.
And tell him you heard about his appraisal service through this post on the Weavin’ Wicker Woman Blog.

I have old wicker/ratan bought in Bangkok in 1972. It needs some repair, is there any value to it?
Hi Clifford,
As I said in the blog post, I do not do appraisals and that’s what you are asking of me. Contact certified wicker appraiser Richard Saunders to determine the value.

Just go to Wicker appraiser, author and repair expert, Richard Saunders’ listing in the National Furniture Repair Directory™. Or, you can always do a search here on the site.
Once you send him pictures and your request for an appraisal, he’ll let you know all the information about your piece!

Hi – I clicked to get to Richard’s appraisal service, but the link did not take me there. Would you please give me his email address? Thanks!
Dear wicker woman,
I was wondering if you can help me with finding out the value of a wicker/rattan vintage loveseat with red leather cushions? and who makes it? I would really appreciate it.:)
Thank you,
Deb

I threw away a wicker chair that my boyfriend bought from a church , it was a peacock fan back he bought it from a church for 2.00
Ouch! So sorry to hear you threw out the peacock wicker fan chair, too bad. Was it in need of repairs or did you just not want it anymore? You could have also donated it to the Salvation Army thrift store or something similar if it was still in good shape. Oh well, next time you might react differently. Best to you and thanks for your comment.
I have 3 vintage wicker pieces in good condition that I would like to have appraised. Please let me know how to submit photos.

I have a couch and chair that my grandmother purchased in 1940s. It is made with the twisted paper material designed on a frame. I cant really find anything on the internet that is similar. Do you know what a fair retail price would be? The cushions have been recovered several times and used over the years. Very good condition. Just curious.

Have a rocker not sure of its wicker?
Hi Carol,
If you are not sure if your rocker is wicker or not, please go read some of the pages that describe wicker furniture and other types of seat weaving that might be on your rocker.
These pages of my website should help you figure out whether it’s wicker or not:
