Description
C-19033
Handwoven wicker market basket with rectangular body and arched swing handle. Constructed from tightly woven natural rattan in a warm honey tone, the basket features a reinforced braided rim and wrapped handle mounts for added strength. The sides taper slightly toward the base, giving the form a grounded, practical stance. The weave is consistent and tight throughout, with a solid flat base designed to sit evenly when loaded. Baskets of this type were commonly used for market shopping, produce gathering, and household transport. The generous proportions and sturdy handle suggest it was built for regular use rather than purely decorative display. Its clean lines and traditional weaving reflect straightforward craftsmanship where durability and utility guided the design.
Light wear consistent with age and use, including minor scuffs and slight variation in tone to the wicker. Structurally sound with tight weaving and secure handle.
16" W x 20" D x 17" H
