Description
This round wicker basket is a small, softly bellied piece woven by hand from rattan, with a tall twisted carry handle arching over the top. We offer it in two colours: Natural, the warm honey tone of the rattan itself, and White, a clean, soft white that sits lightly in a pale room. The body measures about 14cm across and 12cm high, and the handle takes it to around 22cm tall in all, so it sits easily on a shelf or in one hand. Because each one is handmade, the colour and size may vary a little from basket to basket.
It is the kind of basket that finds a job in any room. On a bookshelf or a bedside table it gathers small everyday things: hair ties, keys, a pen or two, a ball of wool. On a dresser or a windowsill it makes a simple decorative touch, and its open top keeps whatever is inside easy to reach. The handle means you can carry it from room to room, and at 14cm across it suits a narrow shelf where a larger basket would crowd the space. Natural brings warmth to wooden furniture, while White looks fresh against painted walls and light shelving.
The basket is woven from rattan, and the handle is made from wood and rattan, twisted into a rope-like arch that is bound in at each side of the rim. The rim is finished with a twisted edge that echoes the handle, and the whole piece is very light to lift. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and let it dry fully. As a gift, it makes a lovely way to present small treats or a few chosen keepsakes, and it stays on as useful storage long after the wrapping has gone.
