Vietri Florentine Waste Basket

Yes, the leaf finish is applied with traditional techniques intended for decorative items. While it is durable, it should be treated as a fine furnishing; avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the delicate metallic surface.

Because this is an open-top, hand-carved wooden piece, we recommend using a liner if you plan to dispose of wet waste or items that might stain the interior. For dry waste like paper or office refuse, a liner is not strictly necessary.

To clean the interior, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners directly on the wood, as moisture can cause the natural material to warp or damage the finish over time.

At 2.0 pounds, it is lightweight but stable for standard use. Its freestanding design is balanced, but it is best suited for placement on flat, level surfaces like office floors or bedroom corners rather than high-traffic areas where it might be bumped.

Measuring 10 x 7.5 x 11.75 inches, this piece is sized for light, decorative use. It works perfectly for a home office, powder room, or bedside, but it may be too small for a high-volume kitchen or family room setting.
