Know before you buy
Yes, the basket features a reinforced rattan construction and a sturdy slatted bottom, making it well-suited for substantial items. However, because it is a woven piece, it is best to distribute weight evenly across the base.
The slatted bottom design does have small gaps between the slats. If you plan to store fine items or small objects, you may want to line the basket with a fabric liner or a decorative cloth.
To keep the rattan in good condition, dust it regularly with a soft brush or a dry cloth. If it requires a deeper clean, you can wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth, but ensure it dries completely to prevent moisture buildup.
Yes, this basket was sourced directly from the Brimfield markets in Massachusetts. It is an authentic, one-of-a-kind find that carries the character and history typical of pieces found at such markets.
Like most natural materials, prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight can cause the color of the rattan to fade or the material to become brittle over time. We recommend placing it in a spot with indirect light to preserve its deep, dark tone.
