Description
This rattan mushroom house is woven by hand into the shape of a plump toadstool, with a rounded warm brown cap sitting over a pale natural base. The Wonders of Nature design gives it a little arched door fastened with a wooden bead, criss-crossed windows woven into the sides and a looped handle rising from the top of the cap. It measures 22cm across and stands 28cm tall to the top of the handle, or 22cm without it, and at just 0.16KG it is light enough to lift onto a high shelf with one hand. Both the cap and the door open, each held closed by an elastic loop over a wooden bead.
It is a decorative piece that brings a gentle woodland note to a sideboard, bookcase, mantelpiece or bedside table. The two-tone weave sits happily beside green plants, painted furniture and other natural textures, and it looks just as much at home on a cottage-style dresser as on a bedroom shelf or in a quiet hallway nook. Anyone who loves fairy-tale cottages, autumn walks in the woods or simply a little whimsy around the house will find plenty to smile at in its tiny windows and door.
Each mushroom house is handmade from rattan, wood, polyester and plastic, so the colour and size of yours may vary a little from piece to piece. That small variation is part of the appeal of a handwoven piece, and no two are quite alike. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry brush or cloth and keep it somewhere dry indoors, away from damp and steam. As a gift it needs very little dressing up: tie a ribbon around the handle and it is ready to give, or set it on a shelf with a trailing plant beside it for an easy woodland corner.
