Grasmere Kubu Log Baskets | Set of Three

A set of three large round log baskets in hand-woven Kubu rattan, with sturdy leather carry handles and a soft, natural grey-brown finish — handsome, hard-wearing fireside storage.

Few things warm a room quite like a well-stocked log basket, and the Grasmere set does it in triplicate. A set of three generously sized round baskets, hand-woven from natural Kubu rattan in a soft, weathered grey-brown, each finished with a pair of thick leather carry handles. Substantial and beautifully made, they're built for logs and kindling beside the fire, but they earn their keep just as easily holding rolled throws and blankets, cushions, magazines or toys. Graduated in size so they nest together when not in use, they bring rich, natural texture and a proper country-cottage warmth to a living room, snug or hearth.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

The quality is immediate. Woven by hand from thick Kubu rattan — a heavier, more robust cane than lightweight wicker — these baskets have a substantial, sculptural presence, and the natural grey-toned finish gives them a softer, more sophisticated look than orange-brown seagrass. The chunky leather handles are the standout detail: properly stitched and set into the weave, they're built to carry a real weight of logs, and they add a handsome, tactile contrast against the pale rattan. Each basket is individually hand-crafted, so the weave and tone carry natural variation from piece to piece — the mark of a genuine hand-woven basket rather than a moulded imitation. Deep, round and open-topped, they're as good-looking empty as they are full.
