Rattan

What is rattan?

Rattan is a type of climbing palm that is native to tropical regions, particularly Southeast Asia. It is widely used in the production of furniture and home decor due to its durability, flexibility, and beauty. The outer skin of the rattan palm is peeled and used to create woven patterns, while the inner core is typically used for the frames of furniture pieces. Sharland England rattan products are designed by our founder Louise Roe and handwoven by experienced artisans. You can shop our rattan furniture and accessories here.

What is the difference between rattan and wicker?

Rattan and wicker are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. Rattan refers to a specific material, while wicker is a style of weaving. Specifically, rattan is a palm species that grows mainly in Southeast Asia. It is strong, flexible and durable, making it ideal for furniture construction. 

Wicker, on the other hand, refers to the weaving technique used to create furniture and accessories. It involves weaving together a variety of natural materials, such as rattan, bamboo and more, to create a sturdy and decorative pattern. Therefore, when you see a piece of furniture labelled as "rattan wicker," it means that the frame is made from rattan and the woven sections are made using the wicker technique. You can shop our rattan furniture and accessories here.

Is rattan sustainable?

Rattan is one of the most sustainable materials in the world. It is a type of palm tree that replenishes itself faster than wood, every 5-7 years, and can last a lifetime. It even requires less energy and water to produce compared to other materials like wood or plastic. For this reason, it has been used for centuries to make furniture and accessories. Every Sharland England item is sustainably made from 100% natural rattan and crafted by skilled artisans. Shop our rattan range here.

Where are your rattan products made?

Our rattan products are made in Indonesia. Thanks to its favourable climate, Indonesia is one of the major producers of rattan in the world and is home to the most skilled artisans who have been crafting rattan furniture and accessories for generations. You can shop our rattan furniture and accessories here.

How do I clean and care my for rattan furniture and accessories?

Your rattan furniture and accessories can look as good as new for years with proper care. Use a soft cloth to dust off regularly, ensuring you reach all crevices. For a deeper clean, use a soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush) and mild soapy water to gently scrub away grime but avoid excessive water to prevent soaking the wood. Always dry thoroughly after cleaning. If your rattan products are exposed to sunlight, rotate them regularly to prevent uneven fading. Once a year, revitalize your rattan with linseed oil or lemon oil, applied with a soft cloth, it will restore its sheen.

Is your rattan furniture suitable for outside use?

To keep our rattan pieces as authentically natural as possible, they don’t have any protective overlay and therefore, they are unsuited for outdoor use.

Ceramics

Are your ceramics handmade?

Sharland England ceramics are entirely handmade by small family-owned potteries in Italy, Spain, and Portugal. They uphold centuries-old artisanal traditions that have been passed down through generations. Each piece tells its own story and is a testament to the craftsmanship and heritage of these artisans.

Are your ceramics handpainted?

Sharland England ceramics are meticulously and slowly hand-painted by skilled artisans, making each piece unique.

Where are your ceramics made?

Sharland England ceramics are entirely handmade by small family-owned potteries in Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

Are your ceramics dishwasher and microwave safe?

Please refer to the product page for specific care instructions. If there are no instructions, please contact us at customercare@sharlandengland.com

Can Sharland England vases be used as jugs and vice versa?

All our products are extremely versatile. We love using our Sharland England jugs for serving delicious cocktails or for displaying flowers. And the same goes for our ceramic bowls which are perfect for pasta or nibbles during aperitivo but also to collect your favourite trinkets or as catch-all bowls in the entryway of your home. We believe that home decor and styling your Sharland England pieces is all about having fun and adding your unique sense of style to a space.

Antiques

How do you select and curate antiques for your collection?

Our founder Louise hand-picks every item, based on her taste and what she feels is a special find for the brand.

Do your antiques come with any kind of authenticity certification?

Our antiques are cleaned and restored before being sold, and any imperfections are always detailed in the product description. Our antiques do not come with any paperwork, but they are instead full of charm!

Do you offer any guarantees or returns on your antique items?

Unfortunately we cannot offer returns on our antique and vintage products.

Are the antiques refurbished or in their original state?

Candles

Are your candles handmade?

Sharland England candles are all sustainably made by one artisan who hand-pours them one by one. They are non-toxic and have a lead-free wick. You can shop them here.

What type of wax are your candles made from?

Our candles are made of a soy wax blend. Unlike traditional paraffin-based candles, soy wax blend candles are eco-friendly and have a longer burning time.

How long can I expect your candles to burn?

Sharland England candles will burn for 45 hours. You can shop them here.

Can I reuse or recycle the candle jars?

You can absolutely reuse Sharland England candle jars. They’re made out of glass so when the wax has burnt out, they can become tumbler glasses or lovely little vases for succulents or any other petite plants.

Which scent is best for Autumn?

For Autumn we love the Sharland England Amber & Suede candle (which is also Louise Roe’s absolute favourite from our range!) It has delicious notes of grapefruit, amber, sandalwood, suede and elemi. The scent is reminiscent of reading a novel in a wood-panelled library, tweed, elegance, the pop of a Champagne cork, brisk walks in the Autumn woods, writing letters from a beautiful antique desk. Shop it here.

Which scent is best for Winter?

For Winter, we created the Sharland England Redcurrant & Clove scented candle. It’s warm, spicy and perfect for a cosy evening with a glass of mulled wine by the fire. It makes you think of a winter night watching old movies under a cashmere blanket, dancing in the kitchen to Frank, a little magic in the air. You will smell notes of cinnamon, redcurrant, juniper, evergreen and clove.

Which scent is best for Spring?

In the Spring, we love a classic but with a twist - our Rose & Oud scented candle. It has notes of rose, sandalwood, oud, musk and neroli. We think the best way to describe this romantic floral scent is by imagining long drives in the French countryside, romance, a red vintage convertible, a floral linen dress, holding hands, windswept hair, a picnic and stolen kisses in the meadow.

Which scent is best for Summer?

For Summer days, the Sharland England Orange Blossom scented candle is definitely our go-to. It has fresh notes of orange blossom, jasmine, vetiver, freesia and cardamom. It makes us think of the birdsong of early morning, first sunrays on fresh sheets, a soft breeze through the window, hot coffee and croissants, feeling refreshed, feeling loved.

For Summer evenings, we believe nothing beats the Sharland England Pomegranate & Patchouly scented candle. With notes of pomegranate, patchouli, cedarwood, pink peppercorn and lily it transports you to a New York City night, Negronis in a hotel bar, a black silk slip dress, jazz on the piano, confidence, laughter with friends, high heels. Shop it here.

Linens

Are your linens handmade?

All our linens are hand-loomed, blockprinted, and hand-embroidered by a talented group of women artisans in India. Shop our Linens here.

What is hand-loomed linen and how is it different from machine-made linen?

Hand-loomed linen is a type of fabric that is crafted by hand on a loom, which is a device that weaves threads into fabric. The method is a traditional art form that has been passed down through generations in various cultures worldwide. Hand-loomed linens have unique natural textures, imperfections, and variations in weave density, which add to their authentic, organic charm.

Hand-loomed linens are largely considered superior in quality compared to machine-made linens. The main reason is the high level of skill, time, and effort required in their production. Each piece, in fact, is uniquely crafted by skilled artisans. In addition, the weavers' thorough control of the entire weaving process ensures that hand-loomed linens are more durable than their machine-made counterparts.

Where are they made?

Our collection of linens is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of a community of talented women artisans in India. Find our hand-loomed, block-printed, and hand-embroidered linens here.

Are there specific care instructions for the various types of linens you offer?

We always recommend spot-cleaning or hand-washing our linens using gentle cleansers and avoiding harsh chemicals that could potentially weaken the fabric fibres and affect their durability.

How can I style my table for a formal dinner?

Regardless of it being a formal dinner, we believe the mood should always be extra welcoming and cosy so a scented candle burning by the door and flowers in a vase near the entryway, is a lovely welcome for the senses.

Guests will often bring wine or flowers, and I think it’s nice to use both in front of them – it

makes them feel appreciated! So having an empty vase or two, and a bottle opener, at the

ready, is a great idea. Then, onto the table! Lay a perfectly ironed tablecloth- we love our Blue embroidered Napa paired with our handpainted Vine ceramics- so elegant. Depending on what you’re serving you could need up to a little bowl over your dinner and side plates. On the top left of your dinner plate add a bread plate and a butter knife - our little coquillage dish is just perfect. On the left of your dinner plate, you should lay your ironed napkin together with the salad fork on the outside, and the dinner fork on the inside. On the right side of your dinner plate, place the knife and the soup spoon (farther away from the plate). Directly above the dinner plate, you should place a dessert spoon with the handle pointing to the right. The water glass goes above the knife and to the right of the water glass, place the white wine glass. Note that the red wine glass goes to the right (and slightly above) of the white wine glass. Our favourite glassware is our hand-blown Spiral collection. Lastly, if using a place card, set it above the dessert spoon. We love playing around with pretty handwriting to give it a personal touch. You can shop this exact tablescape here.

How can I style my table for the Holidays?

Is there anything more joyful than creating a tablescape for the Holidays? Christmas is such a magical time and it calls for a magical tablescape. We like to start by picking a colour palette. You can never go wrong with a classic red, but whites and blues with pops of rust and brown are our favourite colour combinations. Then it’s time to layer up our plates over our rattan placemats and finally, our napkins, adorned with the prettiest rattan Holly napkin rings - they add such a chic detail. As the centrepiece, we love to keep vases low, so people aren’t blocked from each other across the table and our Bambino vases are our favourites. As a last step, light some candles - the final effect will be so incredibly warm and festive. You can shop this exact tablescape here.

How can I style my table for a garden party?

With a backdrop of trees and flowers, we like keeping the table palette rustic and natural. All of Sharland England’s ceramics and linens are designed in a way that allows you to mix and match any collections you like. Louise’s current favourite combination is our cognac Napa tablecloth & napkins, lemon hand-woven napkin rings, our terracotta glaze Louise jug and our Vine plates in mustard and tan. You can also add some vintage pottery for extra charm! Food-wise, nothing beats sharing platters full of bright, beautiful salads and Mediterranean dishes. You can shop this exact tablescape here.
