The aged willow has a warm brown tone, the natural fibers developing a rich, dark patina over time. Two leather ties attach the lids to a woven centerpiece that allows both sides to open and close. The basket is reminiscence of the Country Style Revival period from Mid to Late-20th Century..

In the Mid to late 20th century, a massive home decor trend revived the rustic, English-country aesthetic. Manufacturers reproduced oversized split-lid baskets, swapping stiff leather for softer, brushed suede fasteners to give them a warm, textured look for indoor storage.

Perfect for cottage-core, farmhouse-charm, Lakeside, Coastal, or Cabin Decor. The basket would look lovely filled with bath towels, or kindle for the fireplace. Perfect as a picnic hamper, too!
