The Trinidad
rattan and rush dining collection
is skillfully handcrafted of quality rattan pole combined with
intricately woven rush to create a look of unique elegance. It does
not require cushions.
Rush was named from the "Bull Rush
Cattail leaves". These leaves grow around river beads. In the past
these leaves were gathered and then worked together by twisting 2 or
more leaves together and then continually weaving them over and
through a frame until four triangle meeting at the center were formed. Since, the late 1800's and early 1900's a man made product has
replaced this original Rush material. This new material is made of
heavy pre-twisted craft paper. It is much easier
to work with and is considered superior to the original rush material.
