This antique wash wicker log basket is a hessian lined willow basket available in two sizes or as a set of both, with handles cut into the sides rather than arching over the top. The small measures 47 x 28 x 25 cm and weighs 900 g; the large is 55 x 34 x 33 cm at 1.5 kg. Both take logs and kindling by a fire, and double as storage for blankets, towels or toys.
A rectangular basket sits flush against a chimney breast in a way a round one never manages, and that is the argument for this one. Straight sides mean logs stack instead of rolling, and because nothing protrudes from the sides it can be pushed back against a wall or slid under a shelf. The hessian is the toughest lining we use: bark, grit and kindling debris stay in the basket rather than sifting through onto a hearth rug.

FAQs
Which size should I choose?
The small, at 47 x 28 cm and 25 cm deep, holds roughly a day's logs for a wood burner, and is the one for an alcove or under a shelf. The large runs to 55 x 34 cm and 33 cm deep, which suits an open fire or a whole evening's burning, and is the better basket if blankets are the second job. The set gives you both: small by the fire, large as the top-up store.
Do the dimensions include the handles?
No, they measure the basket, with handle height in brackets. Since these handles are cut into the sides rather than arching over, the gap between the two figures is small.
Will debris come through the weave?
Not while the hessian is in. That is its whole job. Shake it out or brush it down when dust gathers, and use a damp cloth on any marks.
What else does it suit?
Folded blankets in a living room, towels in a bathroom, toys against a playroom wall, or recycling in a utility. Anything you want contained but easy to reach into.
