Preparing Wicker For Winter Storage

Wicker furniture can be stored in an unheated porch over winter, but don’t store heavy items on the wicker or try to use it when it’s cold. Certain lacquers and paints used in manufacturing are drying to the wicker, so you should wash and oil the piece before storage if it feels dry:

Clean your wicker by spraying with a hose or in the shower. Lightly scrub with a soft brush and gentle soap. Rinse with water.
Using a paintbrush, apply a good-quality lemon oil (no linseed or tun oil). Pay special attention to the underside. Let this sit for a few hours and then wipe off any excess.
The porch is a good place to store the wicker while it is absorbing oil and becoming more supple.

PINES AT SUNRISE

“Pines at Sunrise” is a rectangular wicker tray measuring 18” (L) X 12 1/2” (W) X3” (H).
Wicker is a generic term for “woven”. This tray is woven with round reed, which is the pith of rattan.
There is a 1/4’ glass insert with a pencil cut. The glass not only protects the painting, but also, allows you to functionally serve your guests.
My trays offer multiple uses: serving, decorative, altars etc.
The Japanese painting technique is Nihonga. Nihonga is a two-brush method used when painting on surfaces that are hard, smooth, and less absorbent than paper and silk. The first brush carries water with which the artist blends the pigment.
Pines are one of the symbols in the Japanese culture that depict strength.
Pine (Pinus sylvestis, Japan) is used in the alternative healing community as a flower essence. Its mantra is “I bury the past to create a successful future” Judy Griffin PhD
The cost of the tray with glass insert is $425.

The cost of shipping and handling is additional
