Tobacco baskets have been an important part of North Carolina history for years, but are fast disappearing! Baskets, just like these, were used by tobacco companies and family farms to display their products when they took them to market, but now they are popping up in home decor everywhere!
One of our favorite ideas for these is to create a frame above your mantle or fireplace for your smaller boxwood wreaths! They make the perfect wall decor and are even FANTASTIC for holding and displaying items on your ottomans, coffee tables and dining tables. We love the idea of displaying memorabilia from these on your wall or adding flower arrangements to them. We simply can’t get enough of the weathered look and authentic beauty these baskets convey.
Beautifully crafted from wood, these resemble old rectangular tobacco baskets used by tobacco companies to display their product. Great used propped on a mantle, hung on the wall or placed on a table or ottoman.
