This huge early 20th century industrial wicker mill basket dates from 1930 and follows an Edwardian industrial style. The piece is constructed from natural tan wicker, willow, and cane, featuring thick woven cane and a reinforced bound rim with integrated rope rim handles. It displays a prominent patina overall, with a slightly leaning form that adds character to the structure, along with visible organic colour variation in the woven strands and minor surface wear consistent with age. Measuring 80 cm high by 102 cm wide and 102 cm deep, it provides substantial storage capacity. In a contemporary home, this large storage basket is ideal for placement beside a fireplace hearth as a log basket or for holding a large potted plant. The sturdy open-topped round form allows for practical everyday organisation in living spaces, utility rooms, or hallways, combining functional utility with a rustic farmhouse aesthetic.

FAQs

Historically used in textile mills during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these heavy-duty woven baskets transported raw wool, cotton, and fabrics across factory floors. They were crafted from thick willow or cane to endure continuous industrial use.

These utility containers were woven using unpeeled or peeled willow, cane, and rattan over sturdy structural frames. Many examples incorporate reinforced woven rims, timber base skids, or thick rope handles designed to carry heavy loads.

Authentic industrial mill baskets exhibit heavy-gauge weaving, thick bound rims, and operational wear such as patinated timber, base abrasion, or original rope fittings. Unlike modern decorative reproductions, historical examples feature dense, rigid construction and functional proportions.

Large woven baskets serve effectively as fireside log holders, generous storage containers for blankets, or decorative floor accents in entryways. Their natural woven texture adds organic structure to rustic farmhouse, industrial loft, or minimalist spaces.

Maintain natural wicker by dusting regularly with a soft bristle brush or vacuum attachment. Keep the basket in a dry environment to prevent mould, avoid placement near direct heat sources that dry out fibres, and clean occasionally with a slightly damp cloth.
