Decorating ideas
For a table centrepiece, line the basket with moss or tissue paper, then place taller items near the handle and smaller ones along the flared edges. On a sideboard or console table, it can hold an arrangement of dried flowers, candles in glass holders or vintage finds.
In a shop or at a market, it can display lightweight products such as soaps, sachets and small handmade items. Do not use it to carry heavy objects or hang the basket by its handle.
Care and personalisation
Dust with a dry cloth or soft brush. Avoid using large amounts of water or putting it in the dishwasher, as these can cause the solid wood to swell and crack. Keep the basket away from direct heat sources.
To personalise it, sand lightly with fine-grit sandpaper and remove the dust. Then apply paint, wood stain or varnish suitable for indoor wood. White paint or a distressed finish enhances its country style.
