Oval Wicker Log Basket with Hessian Lining

Picture an October evening when frost first touches the windows and you light the season's first fire. Your oval wicker basket sits ready by the hearth—logs stacked just so, the hessian lining catching every stray piece of bark, the wicker glowing warm in the firelight. This is the quiet ritual that marks the turning of the year.

These aren't just log baskets. They're the keepers of winter evenings, the holders of warmth, the pieces that transform a fireplace from functional to beautiful. Watch how the natural wicker catches the dancing light, how the hessian lining—practical yet handsome—keeps everything contained while you build the perfect fire. No wood chips trailing across flagstones, no last-minute scrambles to the woodshed in the dark. Just you, the crackling flames, and everything you need within arm's reach.

Details That Matter

• Small: 40cm L x 31cm W x 28cm H (16" x 12" x 11") - perfect for kindling and fire-starters
• Medium: 50cm L x 39cm W x 32cm H (20" x 15" x 13") - ideal for newspaper and smaller logs
• Large: 60cm L x 47cm W x 39cm H (24" x 19" x 15") - holds your main log supply
• Set of 3 includes all sizes - save £40 and create a coordinated fireside
• Natural wicker that deepens beautifully with age
• Hessian lining catches bark and protects your floors
• Oval shape fits snugly beside hearths and in alcoves

Imagine the set of three arranged by your fireplace—the large basket brimming with split oak and ash, the medium holding yesterday's newspaper twisted into spills, the small cradling matches and kindling. Or choose a single size that suits your space perfectly. Either way, the hessian lining does its quiet work, catching every fragment of bark while adding that heritage touch that makes a house feel like a home.

The oval shape is no accident. It tucks neatly into alcoves and corners, slides easily beside inglenook fireplaces, and carries comfortably when you're bringing logs in from the shed on a November afternoon. And when summer arrives, and the grate stands empty? Nest them together for storage, or repurpose them—fill one with rolled towels in a country bathroom, another with throws in the sitting room, the smallest with dog leads and walking essentials by the back door.
