Product Description

The 'Laundry Basket' or 'Dirty Linen Basket' has a teak frame with woven cane on five sides. The top flap opens with the help of a brass latch and hinges.

The basket was designed in the same style as the seating furniture. This particular design was first used in the hostel rooms of the legislative assembly in Chandigarh. Vintage laundry baskets of similar style, dating back to the 19th century can be found in southern India, Myanmar, etc.

Product Options

We offer this product in a choice of four wood finishes: Natural Teak, Dark Stain and Z4 Walnut.

For the Natural Teak finish, the wood is sanded and finished with hard wax oil to bring out the natural, golden-brown colour of the teak.

For the Dark Stain finish, a coat of water-based, teak stain is applied to give the wood a darker teak shade, followed by a coat of sealer.

For the Z4 Walnut finish, a proprietary one, the wood is hand-stained with a water-based walnut stain and then a coat of sealer is hand-applied.

Please note, each batch of teak is unique and actual shade may vary a little from the reference image.
