This large rustic country log basket dates from the first half of the 20th century. Constructed from woven cane, willow, and leather, the piece displays a weathered grey colour palette with dark stencilled lettering across the front, integrated side handles, and reinforced lid strapping. The rectangular body has a fitted flat lid and a solid form with minor historic knocks, marks, cracks, scratches, and wear. Measuring 90 cm in width plus handles, 64 cm in depth, and 76 cm in height, the heavy basket is suitable for practical use beside a fireplace hearth for wood storage or generally in a hallway or living space. The sturdy construction contains no loose joints and exhibits a genuine patina acquired over decades of service.

FAQs

Historically, heavy-duty woven cane and wicker hampers were utilised for industrial transport, laundry collection, and domestic firewood storage due to their durability and lightweight ventilation.

These baskets are constructed using natural materials such as unpeeled willow, cane, or rattan, often reinforced with timber base runners and leather or iron strapping.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural patina, wear to the base runners, original hand-woven construction irregularities, and occasionally original stencilled inventory numbers or lettering.

Position the basket near a hearth or entryway to store firewood, extra throws, or shoes, introducing natural texture to contemporary, country, or industrial interiors.

Remove dust using a dry brush or vacuum attachment, and occasionally wipe with a slightly damp cloth while avoiding excessive moisture to prevent mould growth.
