Wicker furniture and accessories have a long history, dating back to ancient Egypt. The use of natural materials like rattan, willow, and bamboo allowed for the creation of lightweight yet durable items. In the 20th century, wicker saw a resurgence in popularity, particularly with the rise of Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern design movements, where it was often used for both indoor and outdoor furniture, as well as decorative accessories like magazine racks and baskets.

This particular magazine rack, with its arched handle and woven rattan construction, fits well within the Mid-Century Modern and Boho aesthetic. These styles often embraced natural materials and organic shapes, making wicker a popular choice. Magazine racks like this were functional items designed to keep living spaces tidy while adding a touch of natural texture and warmth, reflecting a desire for comfort and casual elegance in home decor.
