Rattan Chairs


Rattan charis are interesting features in Sarawak. They are light and easy to carry and are often used to assemble a group ...

Group photos in Sarawak feature them quite a bit....Here are two photos ...

An old photo of the Brookes above  (1930's ?) and a group photo of young entrepreneurs of Sibu below. (1950's)



Hope more will be done to grow rattan so that it will not become extinct.
