How and Where to Buy Baskets

The craft of basketry still thrives today, along with the multitudinous uses for decorative baskets, and the enormous array of varieties available. So, to help you weave through the maze of choices, here are some suggestions about how and where to buy the best.
Since baskets are an age-old art form and each basket has a character all it's own, the best indicator of their quality is the name and reputation of the basket artisan or company selling them. Check for their stability. A producer of the best baskets has probably been around for a while or long enough to have some solid showpieces for the custom-made market.
Peterborobasket.com has a track record for excellent quality baskets made of fine fibers like ash wood with brass coated no-rust hardware parts and leather handles. Check out the Basay metal frame basket of naturally blended and wrapped lampakanai twine.
Next, consider the makeup of the basket: the material, the design, the weave and any stitching that will suit your needs.
You'll find exquisite baskets made of young willow, sea grass, rattan, raffia (dyes well) from palm trees, and wicker, often made of cane from rattan plant stems. The finished hard woods (oak, ash and poplar, etc.) make up many beautiful gift baskets. The coco palm tree produces a pliable material from its coconut leaves for baskets, as well. Solid wood and leather are often used for the basket base and handles.
Baskets are also made of mixtures of fibers and almost any other material that the craftsman decides will benefit the workmanship and details of the basket for its particular use, such as metal basket planters. Take a look at the Capadimonte Italian porcelain basket and the Thomas O'Brien Round Metal Basket by Visual Comfort.
You'll find many more selections for your browsing pleasure at Crate & Barrel, shopstyle.com, and adorablegiftbaskets.com. Basket linings of materials such as Egyptian cotton often complete the higher quality look.
If you don't have time to craft your own gift and other special occasion baskets, such as boys' and girls' premium gifts for Easter, go to eccentricbasket.com for lovely custom-made Easter baskets. You can also order from moreluxuries.com and deliverluxury.com.
