Shopping Baskets in Wicker, Willow, and Rattan - Choice Baskets

This basket is sold by my supplier as a Nut Trug, but I think it looks like a Childs wicker Gondola Basket and would be ideal for a Bridesmaid or Flower Girl. Made from full buff willow in a vertical weave it is a very pretty little basket, and now also available in washed wicker. We stock a range of childrens baskets and also an Adults Gondola Basket. Willow baskets are very versatile. These are much hardier and can be used outside as they will survive in all weathers. Usually a stronger weave, they are very sturdy and solid. Grown in fields and by river banks as willow, the branches are stripped of their outer layer and usually treated before weaving. The end product is well suited to carrying weight although the baskets themselves are lightweight. Buff Willow is cropped mainly in November, but sometimes not until December. It is the most popular and is obtained by boiling the willows to release the natural colourant tannin from the bark into the wood. The bark is then stripped from the willow revealing the characteristic golden colour. The washed finish is created by dipping the basket in a weak paint solution and leaving it to dry.

Grey Rattan Oval Market Garden Log Basket. A new addition to our range her at Choice Baskets. I'm sure this basket is going to be popular for a range of uses; shopping, garden, logs.The basket is bulbous in shape, with a rectangle base and has a high carrying handle. Grey Rattan is not a solid colour but a mixture of muted shades of brown and grey. The flat bottom and high carrying handle would make this grey rattan oval market garden log basket perfect for taking to the allotment and filling with all your produce and flowers. Or you could line it with plastic and plant with herbs or flowers to make a pretty gift for a garden loving friend. Personally, I can see it filled with wood beside a log burner or small fireplace. We have a large range of Grey Rattan Baskets, great for mixing and matching. We also stock grey rattan Log Baskets, Storage Baskets, Bottle Baskets and Planters, so you can have a matching range in your home. The muted colours of these baskets are very contemporary and would look lovely in any home. Rattan is considered to be one of the strongest woods available, since its grain grows vertically instead of forming the concentric rings of most other hardwoods. The straight wood is usually steamed and then bent into the desired shape through the use of specialized shapers. Once dried, it will retain its shape and strength forever. Rattan comes from a vine like palm grown under license in the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. The Grey colour is achieved by dipping the rattan in a specific liquid, which soaks into the rattan giving the varied shading, which makes their colouring interesting.Grey Rattan is not a solid colour but a mixture of muted shades of brown and grey. Our baskets are handcrafted from natural products, please allow 5% tolerance on all measurements
