Small Handwoven Wicker Gathering Basket

Age / Period:

Vintage, likely late 20th century

Measurements:

10.75” tall including handle; basket portion approximately 7” wide x 5” deep

Material:

Handwoven natural wicker

Description:

A small handwoven wicker gathering basket with a rounded body, twisted handle, and warm variation in honeyed brown, chestnut, and weathered straw tones. The basket has a tight woven body, softly rounded base, and the kind of useful proportion that makes older gathering forms so appealing.

What gives the piece its presence is the surface: dry natural wicker, visible hand-done irregularity, and a warm aged tone that feels honest rather than overly polished.

Condition:

Good vintage condition with age-related wear and natural variation throughout. The wicker shows surface wear, dryness, slight unevenness, and small irregularities consistent with age and handwoven construction. No major structural issues noted.

Use & Styling:

A useful small basket for a kitchen shelf, pantry, mudroom, entry table, or country cupboard. It works well holding folded linen, eggs, seasonal greenery, dried flowers, or cloths, and pairs naturally with ironstone, stoneware, old wood, copper, and worn textiles.
