I do not intend to remove the paint on the rattan, because I am too afraid of damaging the braiding.
I'm just thinking of putting some linseed oil on the braiding because the rattan feels dry.

I also wouldn't try to remove the rattan, it will move because all is dry. But I would try if it's possible to remove the paint. Only when it isn't possible I would leave it alone. Maybe it's only me but to my feel it's look ugly with this paint, sorry.
