Handwoven Rural Basket - 19th Century

Description

Tall handwoven rural basket dating to the 19th century, likely originating from France. Crafted from natural vine or split wood, this sturdy cylindrical form with its open weave reflects its utilitarian role in traditional farm life. Its generous size and construction suggest it was once used for storing root vegetables, dried crops, or firewood in barns or market settings. This basket shows beautiful signs of age and authentic wear, with a rich natural patina and expressive irregularities in the weave. Its height and sculptural structure make it an impressive decorative element in modern interiors. Ideal for use as decorative storage, a planter sleeve, or a rustic accent piece. We have one left in stock.
