Openwork Wicker Laundry Basket Antique Wash | The Ashcombe

The beauty of openwork—those deliberate gaps in the weave that let air circulate freely, light filter through, the basket breathe. The Ashcombe brings this thoughtful design to everyday laundry with handwoven willow and an antique wash finish that ages gracefully over time.

Available in two sizes or as a set: small for guest bathrooms and compact spaces, large for family laundry loads. The openwork weave allows damp items to air naturally, preventing moisture buildup and keeping linens fresh. The antique wash finish adds warmth to utility rooms and farmhouse bathrooms alike, while the removable cotton lining protects delicate willow and washes clean when needed.

Perfect for organising linens in farmhouse bathrooms, storing laundry in cottage utility rooms, keeping guest towels tidy in period property cloakrooms, or managing family washing in country house laundry rooms. The openwork design creates visual lightness in small spaces, the breathable weave prevents mustiness in damp British climates, and the natural cotton lining adds gentle protection without fuss.
