    SET OF 2 VINTAGE METAL TOBACCO BASKETS
    You don’t have to live in the country to enjoy this handsome pair of tobacco baskets, but it sure helps!  History lesson:
    Tobacco, after being carried to warehouses, was stored on the floor until auctioned off, presenting a problem due to the mud and dirt on the floor. Therefore, the "Tobacco Basket" was invented.
    First used in the 1800's,
    these baskets were created in order to store the tobacco leaves off of the warehouse floor,
    a must-have item for farms harvesting tobacco leaves. Those days are long gone; nowadays,
    tobacco baskets are perfect for adding a country ambiance feel to your home decor.
    Pair them up or hang them separately on a wall to
    add texture and an antique vibe
    to your paint colors, with or without additional decor secured in the center. When displayed on a tabletop, the
    lightly-curved edges
    make them ideal as a catch-all, especially when paired with your favorite tray as an inner liner to complete the look.
    Measures 28&¼” tall x 18&¼”wide x 2” in depth.
    Made entirely of metal.
    Open-weave designed; lightweight enough for easy wall mounting.
    Galvanized tin finish for a weathered look and feel for farmhouse style authenticity.
    Candle sconce and florals shown in product photos are for illustrative purposes only; your baskets will come empty and ready to hang or embellish however you'd like.
