Any product listing for a bin that begins with…

…the “Claremont” is an accurately rendered, medieval sculpture…

…wins points from us right away.

Obviously, a majority of those who’ll eventually own this will just think of it as the vaguely amusing piece of crap that it is.

However, we’ve all met the kind of obsessive medieval revivalist collectors who’d be bitterly disappointed if, even though it’s just a novelty wastepaper basket, they discovered even the slightest historical inaccuracy.

Hence the cleverness in all that detail.

But it’s $60 and it’s a wastepaper basket. We’re not going to tell you not to buy it, because it is kind of cool. But we’re going to let you weigh up your priorities and decide for yourselves.
