Antique Basket With Handle

Description

Object Story
A basket made to be carried every day, with a tight weave and a tall bent handle that rises high above the rim.

Worth Knowing
Woven natural fiber with a bent-wood handle. Size: L 18 x W 17 x H 19 inches.

Live With It
Use it for firewood or kindling by the fireplace, throws in the living room, fruit on a kitchen counter or as a planter cover for a potted plant. It also looks good empty on a shelf.

Character Marks
Small breaks in the weave, darkened spots and a worn handle are signs of age and use, not damage.
