Bread baskets

The role of the bread basket at the dining table

Bread baskets are the all-important, yet often unsung, heroes of many a meal, offering a simple but elegant means of serving up all kinds of tasty breads, from crusty farmhouse loaves to delectable baguettes. When piled high with bread, the basket becomes an expression of hospitality and generosity and creates an easy focal point on the table. Bread baskets that are woven in natural fibres like rattan and bamboo impart a warm and homely vibe. Choose a bread basket that complements your table setting and can withstand the rigours of everyday use. A carefully-selected bread basket can enhance the experience of a meal and be a reminder of the importance of community and sharing meaningful moments with others.
