Why this basket earns its place
These oval wicker baskets strike the right balance between function and presentation. At 228 × 178mm, they're the classic bread-basket size — deep enough for a decent pile of rolls or fruit, compact enough to work on a four-top table without dominating the space. The natural brown wicker has a lived-in quality that works equally well in a casual café or a more considered dining room.
Wicker is porous and forgiving. Crumbs and stray bits fall through, so they're easy to empty and restock. Warm rolls sit in them without sweating. The material breathes, so bread stays fresher longer than it would in plastic. Unlike paper liners (which crease and tear), wicker goes straight from service to wash.
You get six in the pack — a standard four-top set, or enough to rotate through service. They're light (260g total), so staff can move them easily. The oval shape nests neatly for storage. These aren't fancy; they're honest workhorse baskets that have been in use since before minimalism was invented, and they're still the right answer.
