Description
This is for slow Sunday mornings and the person who brings you breakfast in bed.
The Folk Fleur Breakfast Tray is inspired by baskets Peggy Pollard wove in the late 1980s. Pile it with pastries in the breakfast nook, carry coffee out to the porch, or use it as a gathering basket around the house. Rattan-wrapped side handles make it easy to carry.
Underwater Weaving is the basket studio Brooklyn artist Erin Pollard started with her mother, Peggy, in Maine. Everything is woven by hand by the two of them and a small team.
Details
- Material: natural, mature rattan, woven by hand; non-toxic dyes and finishes soak into the fiber, so every piece takes color a little differently
- Dimensions (approx.): 38 x 25.5 cm (15" x 10")
- Depth: 7.5 cm (3"); height with handles 12.5 cm (5")
- Care: for indoor use; wipe clean with a dry cloth. Rattan is flexible, so if it loses its shape, gently mold it back.
- Made in the USA: handwoven by Underwater Weaving in Maine and Brooklyn
Care

Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
