Large Antique Handwoven Wicker Basket - 23¾"

This large antique basket is crafted in hand woven wicker, with each strand shaped and placed by hand, giving the piece a distinctly tactile and artisanal feel. The warm honeyed tones and subtle variations in the weave reflect traditional basket making techniques passed down through generations. Its generous proportions, tightly worked structure, and sturdy loop handles speak to everyday rural use, where durability and practicality were essential. Over time, the surface has developed a softly worn patina that enhances its rustic charm and reinforces its quiet authenticity, rooted in long use and skilled handwork.

Both functional and decorative, this basket adapts easily to modern interiors. Lined with fabric, it makes an elegant and practical container for laundry in a laundry room or guest bathroom. Left as is, it is perfectly suited for collecting towels in a mudroom or for holding kindling by the fireplace. Whether used for storage or simply appreciated for its texture and form, it brings warmth, character, and a gentle rural spirit to the space.
