Gaillardia Woven Leather Square Basket with Brass Hardware

A woven leather basket with sturdy handles holds magazines, throws or kindling and looks like furniture.

Gaillardia is a square basket woven from strips of leather in a rich cognac brown, with two leather carry handles attached with brass hardware. Use it beside a sofa for throws, next to a desk for papers or at a hearth for kindling.

It measures 13.25 in square and 12.25 in tall, with handles about 6.5 in long. The woven leather adds texture to a room and the boxy shape fits snugly into a corner or under a console. It is a good size for a rolled throw or a stack of magazines.

Planning notes

Allow a 14 in square of floor for the basket. Cognac leather pairs with wood, wool and navy, and suits Rustic and Transitional rooms.

Use a pair on either side of a sofa for symmetry, or tuck one beside a desk for papers. Add a folded throw or a few magazines so the basket looks full and is ready for use.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms.
• Not waterproof: keep it away from damp areas.
• Not for very heavy loads.

Care

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Keep away from water and heat sources. Avoid prolonged sun, which can fade leather.
