A log basket that feels like it's always belonged. Handwoven from natural wicker with a soft antique wash finish, The Cropthorne brings quiet warmth to any fireside. The kind of piece that holds more than logs—it holds the ritual of a cosy evening, the crackle of the fire, the comfort of home. Made to last, designed to be loved, rooted in the unhurried craft of heritage homeware.

Product Story

The Cropthorne takes its name from a picturesque village by the River Avon, where traditional craft and countryside living have been intertwined for generations.

Handwoven from natural willow with a soft antique wash finish, this round log basket is built for daily use. The straight-sided design maximises capacity whilst the hessian lining catches bark and debris, keeping your hearth tidy. Sturdy handles make carrying from woodshed to fireside effortless, even when fully loaded.

This is the basket for homes where the fire is lit daily, where logs are carried in from the garden, and where function matters as much as form. A piece that earns its place quietly, season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the basket suitable for outdoor use?

A: Best kept indoors or in a covered porch. The natural wicker can weather if exposed to rain, though many customers use them in sheltered outdoor spaces.

Q: Will the hessian lining come out for cleaning?

A: The lining is fixed in place, but you can shake out debris or wipe clean with a damp cloth. It's designed to catch bark and protect your floors.

Q: Which size should I choose?

A: Medium (Ø 36cm) suits compact wood burners and occasional use. Large (Ø 42cm) works for most fireplaces and daily burning. Consider your fireplace size and how often you light fires.

Q: Does the antique wash finish rub off?

A: No, the finish is applied during the weaving process and won't transfer. Each basket may vary slightly in tone, which adds to its handcrafted character.

Q: Can I use this for storage other than logs?

A: Absolutely. The Cropthorne works beautifully for blankets, throws, magazines, toys, or seasonal décor. The round shape makes it versatile for any room.
