This late Victorian Dutch waste paper basket serves as a home office bin or bathroom accessory, dating to circa 1900. Built from select cedar stocks, the piece displays warm biscuit hues, an attractive wood grain, and deep russet tones on the interior finish. The design features a curved oval form with a tapered appearance, integrated side handles, and brass binding straps accentuating the fascia and footer. The surface exhibits a desirable aged patina and good original order. Measuring 36 cm high, 48.5 cm wide, and 33.5 cm deep, the bin fits suitably beside an office desk, in a period lounge, or within a refined bathroom. The construction integrates staved wood elements with metal reinforcement for everyday utility. It integrates smoothly into both period interiors and decorative collections as a functional storage item.

FAQs

Originating in the 19th century, these staved wooden containers were traditionally crafted in the Netherlands for use as peat buckets, waste paper containers, or hearth side accessories, featuring staved wood joined by metal binding.

These containers were constructed using staved hardwoods or softwoods such as cedar, oak, or mahogany, held firmly in position with brass or copper straps and finished with natural waxes or varnishes.

Authentic period pieces exhibit traditional cooperage techniques, including hand-shaped timber staves, brass or copper straps with rivets, and natural age-related patination on both the wood and metal surfaces.

An antique wooden bin complements a modern study desk, functions as a fireside log storage unit, or serves as a decorative planter cover in a living room or hallway setting.

Dust the timber with a soft, dry cloth and apply clear beeswax polish to protect the wood grain, while using a gentle dry cloth on the brass bands to retain the historic surface patina.
