The Artistry Behind Our Newest Arrivals and How to Claim Yours First

Every piece of rattan has a story long before it reaches your living room. Right now, the newest Auden & Avery collection is on its final stretch to our Charleston doors, and we couldn't be more excited. Here's a closer look at the craftsmanship behind these pieces, what's coming in this shipment, and how to claim your favorites before anyone else gets a look.

What Makes Handcrafted Rattan Furniture Special

Great rattan furniture is never rushed. Skilled artisans shape, bend, and weave each frame by hand, guiding every strand into the silhouettes you know and love. That human touch shows in the details: the gentle curve, the rhythm of a woven panel, the soft edges. It's why handcrafted Auden & Avery pieces never feel mass-produced, and why no two look exactly alike. Subtle variations in tone and weave are part of the charm, a quiet signature that tells you a real person made it.

What Was Crafted for This Shipment

The lineup is seriously good. Inside, look for the Hayes 6 Drawer Dresser with its polished brass details, the tailored Madison Bed, sized for kings and queens alike, and the radiant Sunburst Mirror. A woven Elephant Head wall piece and the Kids Vanity add a playful wink. Outdoors, the Auden & Avery Atlantic collection returns with its 3 Seater Sofa and Single Chair in two finishes. And for the holidays, a new woven Christmas line rounds out the shipment.

The Countdown to Arrival Day

There's nothing quite like the day a new collection comes through our warehouse doors. Boxes get opened, pieces get unwrapped and the showroom transforms almost overnight. It represents months of craftsmanship and planning, all landing in one exciting moment. Presale customers get to skip the suspense entirely, because their Auden & Avery pieces are already spoken for before the first box is cut open.

Why Natural Rattan Belongs in Lowcountry Homes

Woven furniture has been part of Southern porches and sunrooms for generations, and it still makes perfect sense here. Rattan feels light in our humid summers, glows in golden afternoon light, and pairs effortlessly with painted floors, shiplap, and old heart pine. Choosing Auden & Avery rattan isn't chasing a trend. It's honoring a look that has always belonged in Charleston.

A Staging Secret Worth Knowing

Ask the team at Staging Charleston, and they'll tell you that texture is what makes a staged room feel lived in. Natural fiber softens hard edges, adds warmth to listing photos, and helps buyers imagine relaxing in the space. Getting a house ready to list? A handcrafted piece or two from this collection can carry an entire room.

Claim Your Piece Before It Arrives

Handmade pieces are made in limited numbers, and that's what makes the presale so valuable. Reserving now means the piece you love is held in your name before it ever reaches the showroom floor, so it never has a chance to go to someone else. When something this special is finally on its way, you'll want to make sure it ends up in your home.
