A charming mid-century rustic log basket combining stained wooden slats with hand-woven willow, dating to the 1960s–70s.
The design features an open slatted lower section with a tightly woven willow collar and matching woven base, finished with a decorative picket-style rim detail and a strong arched handle formed from multiple bent willow rods. The contrast between the darker stained timber and the warm honey tones of the willow gives it a pleasing country house aesthetic.
Perfectly proportioned for modern fireplaces, its relatively shallow depth makes it especially practical for narrower hearths while still offering generous capacity for logs or kindling. It would also work beautifully as a magazine basket or general storage in a cottage or chalet-style interior.
