A vintner basket built the old way—handwoven willow with an antique wash finish that deepens with age and use.
This isn't storage that hides. It's the kind of piece that earns its place by the hearth, in the hallway, or beside your favourite chair—holding blankets, logs, or whatever needs a proper home.
Product Story
∨
Vintner baskets were originally crafted to store and transport wine bottles—built sturdy, woven tight, designed to last generations. The Alderton carries that same heritage, handwoven from natural willow with an antique wash finish that brings warmth and character from the first day.
This isn't mass-produced storage. It's the kind of piece that feels at home in a cottage hallway, beside a wood burner, or tucked in a bedroom corner holding extra blankets. The willow ages beautifully, the finish deepens, and the basket only gets better with time. Functional, yes—but also quietly beautiful in the way only natural materials can be.

Frequently Asked Questions
›
Q: What's the difference between the small and large size?
A: Small (39×29×44cm) suits bedside or bathroom storage; Large (46×37×50cm) is ideal for fireside logs or hallway blankets. Both have the same antique wash finish and integral handles.
Q: Can this be used outdoors?
A: It's designed for indoor use. While willow is naturally durable, prolonged exposure to rain or moisture will affect the finish and longevity.
Q: Will the antique wash finish fade or change?
A: The finish may deepen slightly with age and use—this is part of the natural character of willow and adds to its charm over time.
Q: Is this suitable as a gift hamper basket?
A: Absolutely. The Alderton makes a beautiful gift basket for wine, artisan foods, or homeware—elegant enough to be a gift in itself.
