This large oval willow basket was originally intended as a laundry basket, given its size and light weight. Its sturdiness and rusticity make it equally at home as a log basket, a toy basket, or a harvest basket for gathering cut herbs. And when it's not in use, it'll be a superb decorative object hung against a wall...

Rattan is a tropical plant (85% comes from Indonesia) related to the palm family that produces a "cane" that is easy to bend (with steam). Rattan allows for tighter curves and finer weaves than willow, but being less rigid, it requires a heavier frame.
Willow grows easily throughout Europe. It does not require any plant protection products or fertilizer. The harvest is completely regenerated each year, so it is a very easily renewable resource. Peeled hot ("buff" willow with natural copper tones) or cold ("white" willow), it is most often presented untreated, the willow fibre leaving its smooth and satiny surface to appear "au naturel".
Overall dimensions: height 23 cm (28 cm with handles) x length 70 cm x width 46 cm. Weight 1.3 kg. Entirely woven in natural buff willow (no varnish or stain). Made in Europe (Poland).
A wicker basket is not really made to resist to bad weather, persistent humidity, frost, or too long exposure to the sun. Also, each piece is woven by hand. Dimensional differences of 1 to 2 cm can be observed, no two are exactly alike.
Maintenance: dust with a soft brush, avoid commercial cleaning products. In the event of heavy soiling, you can exceptionally rinse under water and brush with Marseille soap.
