Measurements

  • Length: 43cm

  • Width: 31cm

  • Height: 18cm

Condition

Good vintage condition. There are a few small breaks in the wicker, consistent with age and use, but these do not affect the appearance or functionality of the basket. As with all vintage and antique pieces, it may show signs of age and use, adding to its unique character.

A Curious Detail

Have you ever wondered why wicker baskets can last for decades?

Unlike rigid materials, wicker is made from hundreds of flexible strands woven tightly together. Rather than snapping under pressure, the fibres gently flex and share the weight across the whole basket. That's why a well-made wicker basket can stay strong and useful for generations.
