Wicker Laundry Basket for Carrying a Full Washer Load with Leather Handles and a Handwoven Rattan Body
This wicker laundry basket carries a full washer load between your laundry area and the place you fold clothes. Its handwoven rattan reed body pairs a solid hardwood bottom and rim with two leather loop handles for carrying with both hands.
An Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border weaves each basket by hand, and the maker signs the bottom. The vintage style comes in Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green trim; the colored accents are woven from dyed reed rather than painted on.
The basket comes open and unlined. A fitted lift-off wood lid, cotton liner, protective feet, and engraved brass plate are optional extras sold separately.
