Vintage tripod work lamp in wicker and wood, 1960s style.

A lovely vintage tripod work basket, also known as a sewing box or basket, designed to store threads, needles, balls of wool, and small craft projects. It consists of a central basket made of wicker, rattan, or woven plant fibres, a circular lid that can serve as a tray, three legs in dark brown stained wood, and an inner lining made of brightly coloured printed fabric. Its style evokes the 1950s to 1970s, with a preference for the 1950s-1960s, a period marked by the use of rattan, wicker, and bamboo in occasional furniture. The colourful aesthetic of the lining recalls mid-century, bohemian, or rockabilly influences. Its origin is likely French or European, possibly stemming from artisanal or semi-industrial production. It can still be used for storing sewing supplies, balls of wool, magazines, or small items, but also as a decorative occasional piece of furniture.
