Longaberger Tall Tissue Basket

This is a hand-woven wood splint basket, identifying as a vintage Longaberger Tall Tissue basket, likely manufactured between the 1990s and early 2000s in Dresden, Ohio. The basket features a warm, honey-toned maple wood splint construction with a classic tight weave. It is cylindrical in shape, designed specifically to hold vertical tissue boxes or similar household items. Supporting the structure is a single, dark brown leather handle attached to the back, allowing it to be hung on a wall or doorknob. The top rim is accented with a burgundy red fabric fabric liner with a textured weave that overlaps the edge. Inside, a clear custom-fit plastic protector is visible, which serves to maintain the basket's shape and protect the wood from moisture or debris. The craftsmanship is indicative of Longaberger quality, showing uniform weaving and secure attachments. Condition appears Excellent to Like-New, with no visible breakage to the splints, staining on the fabric, or cracking in the leather handle. The leather retains a rich color with minimal stretching at the attachment points. While the bottom mark is hidden from view, these baskets typically feature an imprinted brand mark and the weaver’s initials on the underside.
