Handwoven Rush Basket

$122

Rush Matters’ rush basket is hand-woven using an age-old crafting tradition by the founding family in Bedfordshire, UK. English bulrush is harvested with scythe-shaped blades and later sun and wind-dried, resulting in 100% natural and rustic basket with distinct colour variations that vary depending on the weather conditions during the drying process. Prolonged sun gently bleaches bulrush to warm honey tones while windy weather alters the colour to have a more vivid green and blue hue. This basket honours traditional craftsmanship and is eco-friendly, while adding a touch of charm and authenticity to any setting. Due to the organic nature of the product the colour will mellow to golden-yellow tones over time.
