Antique Baskets & Trays

Baskets are a great way to accent any room and provide excellent storage for a variety of different uses. At Fireside Antiques, we offer a great selection of antique wicker baskets, metal vintage baskets, and handwoven Native American baskets. Our experienced craftsmen professionally restore each piece to be ready for immediate use upon arrival at your home.

Vintage Baskets

Whether you need a small basket to hold towels in your bathroom, a large wire basket to keep dirty laundry, or a handwoven hanging basket for planting, you are sure to find precisely the basket you need in our online store. Baskets quickly turn cluttered spaces into perfectly organized spaces, efficiently storing loose items in a classy fashion compared to plastic bins or cluttered bookshelves.

Wicker baskets are perfect for a rustic-themed room, while metal baskets fit farmhouse and industrial settings perfectly. Native American baskets complement many different room decor styles, adding warmth and functionality with a handmade charm.

Functional and Beautiful

Baskets are functional pieces and works of art, demonstrating a craftsman’s skill and eye for design. Early baskets provided various everyday uses and were crafted from grasses, tree bark, reeds, and other kinds of wood. These types of baskets generally employ methods such as coiling, weaving, and plaiting in their creation.

Metal baskets add an extra element of durability to baskets and often reduce their weight significantly depending on the type of metal used. Welding metal creates a simple seal for holding liquids or smaller loose items, though the previously mentioned methods work well with thin, flexible metal strands.
