Frequently asked questions

How do I hang a wall basket without damaging the wall?

A small picture nail or a removable adhesive hook holds most handwoven baskets, since natural fiber keeps them light. Flat-back designs sit flush against the wall, so one anchor point is enough. For plaster or rental walls, choose an adhesive hook rated above the basket's weight and press it firmly for 30 seconds before hanging.

How do I arrange wall baskets as a gallery?

Lay the arrangement out on the floor first. Place the largest basket at the center, roughly at eye level once on the wall, then work outward with smaller pieces, keeping two to three inches between rims. Odd numbers of baskets tend to read most naturally, and mixing sizes and weave patterns keeps the grouping from looking uniform.

What size wall basket do I need?

For a single basket above furniture, aim for a piece about half to two-thirds the width of what sits below it. Large baskets can hold a wall on their own; small and medium sizes work best grouped. Measure your wall space first and check each basket's listed diameter, since handwoven pieces vary slightly.

What are wall baskets made of?

The wall baskets in this collection are handwoven in Zimbabwe from 100% natural ilala palm. Natural fiber makes them lightweight and durable, and because every basket is woven by hand, the color and weave vary slightly from piece to piece.

HANDWOVEN WALL BASKET DECOR FROM ZIMBABWE

Every wall basket in this collection is handwoven in Zimbabwe: by Tonga weavers in the Binga district, and by Ndebele weavers around Bulawayo, each people with its own distinct weaving style passed down through generations. Because each basket is woven by hand, no two are identical: the weave, the pattern, and the tone vary slightly from piece to piece, which is what makes a grouping of them read as collected rather than bought in a set.

FLAT-BACK HANGING WALL BASKETS

These are hanging wall baskets in the practical sense: woven with a flat back so the basket sits flush against the wall and hangs from a single nail, hook, or removable adhesive strip. There is no mounting hardware to hide and no bracket to install. Flat-back weaving also keeps the basket's profile shallow, so a large piece adds bold texture without projecting into the room the way a deep bowl would.

MATERIALS: WHAT WALL BASKETS ARE WOVEN FROM

Shoppers often search for wicker or rattan wall baskets. Wicker describes a weaving method rather than a material, and rattan is a Southeast Asian vine. The baskets here are woven from 100% natural ilala palm, grown near where the weavers work and finished by hand. Natural fiber keeps each basket light, which is why a single nail is enough to hang even the large sizes.

SIZES: LARGE STATEMENT BASKETS TO SMALL GALLERY PIECES

Large and extra large wall baskets hold a wall on their own. Above a sofa, a bed, or a console, one oversized basket does the work of a framed piece, with texture that flat art cannot give. Small and medium baskets are the building blocks of a gallery arrangement: mix diameters and patterns, keep two to three inches between rims, and let one larger basket anchor the group. Each product page lists the exact diameter, and most designs come in multiple sizes.
