The word wicker refers to a style of weaving rather than an actual material. Rattan, however, is a natural material derived from palm vines, somewhat similar to bamboo. So you would think that if a piece of furniture has “rattan” in its name, it would imply it is made of rattan. This is not necessarily so. Some furniture makers are starting to use the word rattan in the same way they would use the word wicker: in reference to a style. So be sure of what you are getting when you shop for wicker rattan dining chairs.
