MIKAFleur Rice Straw Basket

No. As authentic antiques from the 19th and 20th centuries, these baskets will show natural signs of age and use. These imperfections are part of their history and contribute to their unique, rustic character.

These baskets are not water-resistant and are made from natural, aged rice straw. It is best to use them for dry storage or decorative display to preserve the integrity of the material.

While they are structurally sound for display or holding lightweight items, they are delicate antique pieces. They do not have handles, so they are best suited for stationary use as a decorative accent or for light, occasional storage.

Both sizes feature the same 8-inch opening, making them ideal for holding similar items like dried botanicals, textiles, or magazines. The primary difference is the overall volume and height, with the large size offering a more substantial presence for floor placement.

Because these are antique, handwoven items, some minor shedding or fraying of the straw is normal. We recommend placing the basket in a low-traffic area to minimize wear and maintain its condition.
