The perfect way to serve your loaf of french bread at that special meal. This can also be used as a focal point in your kitchen or just about any where you want in your house. The basket has solid cherry base, rim and handle with brass screws and eco ivory domes to secure the handle. The reed used for staves in this basket are a smoked reed giving it a richer wood tone. I have also incorporated decorative weaving with black reed and lashed the basket with black reed as well. Thank you for visiting my shop and God Bless.
