Young Swedish Blonde Girl With Ring Reveals In The Backyard Garden On The Terrace With Rattan Wicker Armchairs

Willow baskets were commonly referred to as wickerwork in England.
History
Wicker has been documented as far back as ancient Egypt, made from indigenous "reed and swamp grasses." Middle-class families could only afford a few pieces, such as small tables. However, archaeologists working on the tombs of the wealthy pharaohs (rulers) have uncovered a wider variety of wicker items, including "chests, baskets, wig boxes, and chairs.". Wicker even found use in the Achaemenid Empire on the battlefield, in shields.
