Description
This is a vintage Chinese storage basket handcrafted from split bamboo and wood. It has a rounded, bulbous shape with a flat woven base and a domed, intricately woven lid. The basket features a metal clasp and padlock for securing contents. The bamboo is woven in a tight herringbone-like pattern, reflecting traditional craftsmanship. Historically, such baskets were used for storing and carrying food and often include woven handles for transport. The basket shows signs of age, including a distressed patina, some breaks in the wicker, and paint stains on the inside bottom. It measures H: 18.5" | W: 21" | L: 21".
