Wicker Laundry BasketLarge Amish Woven Hamper With Lid

• Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven from rattan reed over a solid hardwood bottom about a half inch thick, with a hardwood rim, two leather handles riveted through the weave and a solid wood lid in two halves, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
• The Hinged Lid: The lid is two halves of solid wood on hinges, each with a wooden knob, so it opens from either side of the bed with one hand and a shirt drops in without moving anything. The whole lid lifts off when you want the hamper open.
• Room for the Week: 21 x 17 1/2 inches at the rim and 22 inches tall, tapering to 16 1/2 x 12 1/2 at the bottom, so it holds a family's week of laundry on less floor than the top suggests.
• Measures: 21" x 17 1/2" x 22" tall (16 1/2" x 12 1/2" at the bottom). Contents not included.
• Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green. The color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on.
• Optional Extras: A hand-sewn cotton liner made for this hamper, protective feet and an engraved solid brass plate are each optional and sold right on this page. The hamper ships unlined and 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.

This is the hamper for the person who wants the lid to open by itself. "The hinged lid is wonderful. That was such a great idea," Amelia wrote in 2019. Jimmy, in 2022: "the wooden lid is an added bonus because it opens from either side!" Kathie: "This one is large enough to hold everything, the liner fits perfectly. To anyone looking to buy, life is short - buy the hamper!"

"This one is worth every penny and I know it will probably last for the rest of my life. The liner is good size and the lid is wonderful too," Angela wrote in 2021. Lora: "This is the perfect size for all my laundry and looks beautiful." Cathleen calls hers "an heirloom basket that will be passed down to my grandkids," and Judy, in 2021: "It will most likely last forever!"

The liner sewn for it lifts the week out in one piece and washes by machine; it is sold on this page and can be added any time after the hamper arrives. The bottom is solid hardwood, so the hamper stands square and takes a set of casters at home if you want it to roll. If you want a taller hamper, the Corner Hamper stands 26 1/2 inches in a corner and the Oval Laundry Hamper stands 25 1/2 inches along a wall; the Wicker Hamper with Lid is the round one with a lift-off lid. All of them are on the hampers with lids page.

An Old Order Amish family weaves it by hand on the Iowa-Missouri border, in the same community as the rest of our laundry 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.
