Large vintage woven rattan basket

Rare large piece! This antique rattan basket captivates with its remarkably fine weaving and impressive proportions. Both useful and decorative, it fits well as: – storage for blankets or cushions. – a sculptural object to place in an entrance or living room. – a decorative basket for a country house or a bohemian interior. Its domed lid, integrated handle, and small pedestal give it an almost architectural look. Every detail of the weaving reflects an ancient artisanal craftsmanship, now difficult to find in this size. A strong, warm, and authentic piece, ideal for adding character to an interior. Condition. Very good overall condition for an antique object. Natural honey-coloured patina of the rattan. Minor defects consistent with age: missing or re-glued strands, a few threads, rusty nails, the handle of the lid is quite fragile, and the underside of the lid's handle is slightly damaged. Dimensions. * Height: 59 cm (with handle) * Width: 35 cm. * Diameter: 39 cm. * Weight: 685 g.
