Ladorada Mother of Pearl Wastebasket

Yes, the mother of pearl is protected by a high-gloss lacquer finish, which helps shield the material from moisture. However, it is best to avoid placing it directly inside a shower stall or where it will be constantly splashed.

Simply wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the high-gloss lacquer and potentially scratch the natural shell surface.

Because each piece uses natural, ethically-sourced mother of pearl shells that are individually hammered, there will be subtle variations in the mosaic pattern and iridescence. You should expect your wastebasket to have unique characteristics that distinguish it from the stock photography.

No, the wastebasket features a manual lift lid mechanism. It is designed for simplicity and style rather than complex mechanical operation.

At 4 lbs, this piece has a solid, substantial feel that prevents it from tipping over easily during normal use. Its wood-based construction provides enough weight to keep it stable on bathroom or office floors.
