"...If your wicker chair is an antique, do not attempt to repair it unless you are experienced in wicker repair. While repairs may be pricey, you do not want to diminish the value of the piece with shoddy craftsmanship.
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and looks of your wicker chair. Keep it away from direct heat sources, since heat from fireplaces and the sun dry out rattan reeds and cause chipping and cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to the elements as well.
To keep wicker furniture moist, use store-bought boiled linseed oil to nourish the reeds. Do not attempt to boil linseed, because it is extremely flammable. "

Good Luck and thanks for using Hometalk :)
if you can find some- try weaving in the bad areas- it could prolong the life of the chair since then it isn't putting strain on weakened areas
