Vintage Wicker Pig Basket Planter in Warm Brown

A delightful vintage wicker pig basket planter with a wonderfully chunky woven snout, little button eyes, and sturdy feet that give it real personality. It is one of those pieces that makes people smile the moment they spot it, but it is also genuinely useful for adding texture and warmth to a room.

At 18 x 12 x 9.5 cm, it is a great size for a small potted plant, a handful of dried stems, or as a sweet catch all on a console or kitchen shelf. If you would like to use it as a planter, simply pop a small plant pot inside or add a liner first, as wicker is not watertight. It looks brilliant with trailing greenery, a little fern, or even a seasonal bulb, and the warm brown tone sits beautifully with cream ceramics, natural wood, and linen.

Styling wise, it works in so many places. Use it on open shelving to break up stacks of books, add it to a coffee table tray alongside a candle and a match striker, or place it in a child’s room as a playful but tasteful detail. It is also lovely in a hallway for keys and bits and bobs, or in a pantry for garlic bulbs or napkins. If you enjoy mixing vintage with modern, this is exactly the sort of piece that adds character without trying too hard.

Vintage condition with light signs of age and handling to the weave, consistent with a well loved piece. Please see the photographs for close ups of the wicker texture and overall shape.
