Product Story
∨
Grey has always belonged to the British countryside — the soft wash of morning mist over fields, weathered stone walls that have stood for centuries, the quiet palette of heritage homes where colour comes from nature, not paint charts.
This round log basket captures that understated elegance. Handwoven from natural wicker with a gentle grey wash finish, it brings the calm of muted tones to your fireside without sacrificing warmth. The finish feels modern yet rooted in tradition — the kind of piece that works as beautifully in a whitewashed cottage as it does in a contemporary farmhouse with Scandi leanings.
Named after Bretforton, a timeless Worcestershire village where stone, wood, and wicker have shaped daily life for generations, this basket is for homes that choose quiet beauty over loud statements — where a soft grey finish and honest craft create spaces that feel both current and enduring.

Hessian liner included — helps catch bark and debris to protect floors and keep your fireside tidy
Versatile aesthetic — suits heritage cottages, modern farmhouses, Scandi-inspired homes, and any space that values understated elegance

Frequently Asked Questions
›
Is this basket suitable for outdoor use?
It's designed for indoor fireside storage. While natural wicker can tolerate occasional outdoor use, prolonged exposure to rain or damp will shorten its lifespan. Best kept inside near your fire or stove.
Will the grey wash finish rub off or fade?
No. The grey wash is a stain applied during weaving, not a surface coating. It won't rub off, though like all natural materials, wicker may lighten slightly with years of sun exposure.
Can I use this for storage other than logs?
Absolutely. These baskets work beautifully for blankets, magazines, toys, kindling, or general household storage. The round shape and neutral grey finish suit any room.
Does it come fully assembled?
Yes. It arrives ready to use — no assembly required. Simply remove from packaging and fill with logs.
Does the liner protect my floors?
Yes. The hessian liner helps catch loose bark and debris, keeping your floors cleaner and protecting carpets from scratches.
