Product Story
∨
The Ombersley is named after one of Worcestershire's most striking villages, where black-and-white timbered buildings line the streets—a place where heritage isn't preserved, it's lived in.
This rectangular log basket honours that same spirit. Handwoven from natural willow with an antique wash finish, it's built for the rhythm of daily life: carrying logs from the woodshed, stacking kindling beside the hearth, keeping the fire fed through long winter evenings. The rope handles sit comfortably in your hands, even when the basket's full. The hessian lining does the quiet work of catching bark before it reaches your floor.
It's not about perfection. It's about a piece that works hard, ages well, and feels more at home with every season that passes.

Frequently Asked Questions
›
Q: Is the basket suitable for outdoor use?
A: Best kept indoors or in a covered porch. The natural willow can weather if exposed to rain, though many customers use them in sheltered outdoor spaces.
Q: Will the rope handles hold heavy loads?
A: Yes, the rope handles are sturdy and designed for carrying full loads of logs. They're woven securely into the basket structure for lasting durability.
Q: Which size should I choose?
A: Small (50×30cm) suits compact wood burners or occasional use. Large (58×38cm) works for most fireplaces and daily burning, holding several days' worth of logs.
Q: Does 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: Can I use this for storage other than logs?
A: Absolutely. The Ombersley works beautifully for blankets, throws, magazines, toys, or laundry. The rectangular shape and rope handles make it versatile for any room.
