Wickerwork means things made by weaving wicker — baskets, chair seats, screens, trays — and also the craft and the woven surface itself. It is uncountable. You can use it for the whole class of objects ("a shop selling wickerwork"), for the technique ("she learned wickerwork from her mother"), or for the woven part of one thing ("the wickerwork on this chair is coming loose"). It feels more formal and more written than plain wicker; museums, craft books and auction catalogues use it, while at home people just say "a basket" or "a wicker chair". If you are unsure which to use, wicker before a noun is almost always the safer, more natural choice.
藤編製品/編織工藝(成品或這門手藝;比 wicker 更書面、偏工藝與展覽場合的說法)
組成wicker (bendy woven branches) + -work. The -work ending makes a word for things made from a named material or by a named method — you see the same pattern in metalwork, woodwork, needlework, brickwork.
