Christmas Sleigh CenterpieceAmish Woven Decorative Santa Sleigh

• Handcrafted Quality: A sleigh body of rattan reed handwoven over a solid wood bottom, with a wrapped hardwood rim, a tall woven back, and hand-cut solid wood runners under it, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
• The Size: 17 1/2 inches long over the runners, 8 inches wide and 10 inches tall at the back, with about 12 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches inside: a pail of fresh greens, a dozen ornaments, the pinecones, the Christmas cards as they arrive, or the small packages waiting under the tree. It is a centerpiece.
• It Ships Empty: The greens and ornaments in the photos are yours to add; the sleigh arrives as the basket alone. A hand-sewn cotton liner made for it and an engraved brass plate (on the side, unless your order note asks for the front) are optional on this page.
• Measures: 17 1/2" x 8" x 10" tall over the runners; about 12 1/2" x 6 1/2" inside. Contents not included.
• Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green. The color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on, and on the plain finish the stain takes to each piece of wood in its own way.
• Optional Extras: The cotton liner in four colors and the engraved solid brass plate are each optional and sold right on this page. The sleigh is complete without them.
• American Heritage: Handwoven in the USA and signed by the Amish weaver who made it. Backed by our lifetime guarantee, with free shipping and no-questions returns on every order.

Tanya wrote, "Loved it so much I ordered another one as a gift." Marilyn plans "to enclose a pail filled with fresh, fragrant greens".

Maureen, on her fifth: it "can be used for everything from ornaments, pine cones, small gifts, stuffed small toys, even rolls or fruit! The liners wash very nicely!" Mary's "sitting by our fireplace filled with greenery, red berries and Christmas cards that have arrived from friends and family"; Kay keeps her Christmas cards in it too; Constance set "half a dozen large LED candles in it" on the coffee table; Deb's goes "under the tree with a few packages in it to deliver". Kathleen "ordered nine Amish Woven Baskets as Christmas presents for nine of my grandchildren’s families", and Margaret's "was used for a silent Auction and was truly the best looking basket of all of them."

The sizes are outside measurements. The tree collars and the fireplace basket that go with it are on the Christmas decor page; for a basket of the jams or the goat's milk soap to set beside it, the gift baskets page.

An Old Order Amish family weaves it by hand on the Iowa-Missouri border, in the same community as the rest of our kitchen baskets, and the weaver signs the bottom before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free, and rush delivery is offered at checkout when a birthday or Christmas is close. It ships gift-ready, with no prices in the box, a free gift note at checkout, and a short letter about the family who wove it. Like every basket we sell, it carries our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked.
