Know before you buy
No. Because each piece is an authentic vintage find, you should expect natural variations in size, color, and patina. Every basket is one-of-a-kind, meaning the item you receive will have its own unique character and history.
The basket features an open-top, rectangular design that is intended for wall mounting. Due to the vintage nature of the wicker, we recommend using a sturdy hook or nail that can support the weight of the basket and any decorative items you choose to display inside.
These baskets are aged, natural-fiber antiques, so they should be handled with care. While they are structurally sound for display and light decorative use, they are best suited for stationary wall décor rather than heavy-duty storage.
No, this is a custom-ordered vintage item and is not eligible for return. We recommend carefully measuring your wall space against the approximate 40'' W x 36'' H dimensions before placing your order.
To maintain the integrity of the natural fibers, simply dust the basket periodically with a soft, dry cloth or a gentle brush attachment on your vacuum. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as moisture can damage the aged wicker.
