VINTAGE 1970’s CUSTOM MADE CHRISTMAS RED PLAID PADDED TAFFETA LACE BASKET FOR CENTEPIECE ORNAMENTS HOME DECOR CHRISTMAS CARDS

A beautiful vintage 1970's custom hand made red plaid padded Christmas basket with scalloped lace and ribbons trim.  This basket was a gift to me from my sister many decades ago and I have kept it all these years.

The fabric is a crisp red plaid taffeta with a sparkling metalic gold thread running through it.  The interior of the basket is padded inside as well as the handle.  There is wide 3" white / ivory scalloped lace surrounding the basket along with scarlet red feather edge double faced satin ribbon bows at the handle area.

The basket can be used a centerpiece at Christmas filled colorful ornaments, for Christmas cards on your entry table, fill with pine cones, a napkin holder on a buffet table, fill with mixed nuts on a coffee table, add a plastic liner and give it filled with Christmas cookies, for holding tiny gifts for people at dinner or on a coffee table for a Christmas decoration along with other Christmas items.

It measures 10" length, 7" wide and 5-1/2" high without including the handle.  The handle and the bows have been pinned on which will be easier for shipping as it will be able to lie the handle down for mailing but I would tack the handle and the bows down with a few stitches to keep them more secure after receiving it.  It is in excellant condition and the colors are very bright and striking!

A great vintage accent decorative piece for a buffet or dining table, living room, hall or entry!

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements. We hope you enjoy what you purchased but we know sometimes things do not fit quite as you would like or the color is wrong.  In that case, we do allow one exchange or a store credit on any item that you want. There are about 2,000 items in the store and more are being added all the time so you have a large selection to choose from.

You must email before returning an item so I can give you the information that you need to exchange the item.
