Vintage Asian Willow Basket
Description
A richly toned willow basket with braided rope handles and a bentwood frame. The distinctive rounded form and dark finish give it a sculptural presence, while the sturdy construction makes it equally useful for storage and display.
Beautiful styled on a console, kitchen island, or dining table filled with fruit, linens, or seasonal branches. The low profile also makes it an easy layering piece on open shelving or beneath a coffee table.
Willow and rattan baskets of this form were traditionally used for carrying produce and household goods throughout Asia. By the mid-20th century, their distinctive shapes and craftsmanship made them popular decorative imports. Today, their sculptural forms, rich patina, and handwoven construction make them especially desirable among collectors and designers.
Approx. 14 1/4" long x 6" deep x 7 3/4" tall
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Light wear and variation to the finish consistent with age and use.
