You can display trunks in your foyer as decorative pieces. You can also use them to store scarves, boots, and gloves.
Trunk Construction
Wicker trunks are usually made by hand with a wooden frame on which the wicker cane is woven. The frame is then stapled to the wicker trunk. The sides and lids of the trunk can have wood panels depending on the manufacturer. Each piece is a work of art because craftsmen carefully weave the cane. You can store clothes and other items with air circulation in trunks that have woven panels. Wood-lined trunks are stronger than non-wooden ones and can store heavier or more difficult items that don’t require air.
You can store clothes, toys and books in wood-lined trunks. To allow air to flow, choose a trunk that isn’t wood lined. If the trunk is being used for storage or children’s play, we recommend a wood-lined trunk. If you don’t take care when loading your cane into an unlined trunk, it can break or crack.
Styles
There are many sizes and styles of wicker trunks. Wall panels are usually woven with single over-under weaving. To complement the trunk shape, the borders and edges of trunk lids and trunk walls have a rolled twist pattern. This is what we call a roll. It’s a combination of multiple layers of twist cane placed side-by-side. To offer desirable characteristics, you can make the trunk with either rectangular or round feet.
Modern wicker trunks feature a two-way opening. The lid opens like a traditional storage trunk, and the two doors along the sides of the panel allow access to the interior. Two-way access trunks are ideal for coffee tables because you can access the inside of the trunk by using the side doors.
Accessory
Accessories can be added to trunks by the manufacturer to enhance their functionality and appearance. You can add metal latches and handles to give your trunk a unique look.
Some of the most common styles names are:
- Hampton Bay
- Florentine
- Bombay
