This French wicker laundry basket is the low, wide type commonly used for carrying and sorting laundry, and it retains all the structural integrity of its original construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weave is tight and consistent across the sides and base, worked in a natural honey-toned rattan that has aged to a warm amber-brown. The rim is finished with a multi-strand braided border, and the basket features two small looped handles on opposing ends, also woven in twisted rattan. The base incorporates a single flat wooden runner set lengthwise along the underside, a practical detail that protected the weave from floor contact and is still intact. The interior shows the characteristic oval spiral weave of French basket-making. General wear is consistent with age and use -- minor looseness in a few wicker strands is visible -- but the overall structure remains solid and functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: approximately 50cm x 35cm x 18cm (not including handles) \/ 19.7\" x 13.8\" x 7.1\". These measurements are provided by the seller and exclude the height of the handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA low-profile wicker basket of this form works well as a storage piece in a bathroom, bedroom or living space -- useful for blankets, magazines, or firewood. It also appeals to collectors of French rural domestic objects and vintage brocante finds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57785351668056,"sku":"224657747892_EC7C_72E1_9372__9EE","price":198.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_a1fe0a28-df2b-43e8-be5d-9287c2116433.jpg?v=1784787341","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-wicker-laundry-basket-2307267","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
