Vintage Woven Basket – Mid-Century European
Couldn't load pickup availability
A generously sized handwoven basket with a sturdy arched handle and warm, light honey-toned patina. Measuring 34 cm in height, 38 cm in length, and 24 cm in width, it balances practical design with quiet character. Signs of age and use — like wear on the handle and a few broken weaves — add to its character and authenticity.
Though the exact origin is unknown, the craftsmanship suggests European roots, likely from a region with a strong basket-weaving tradition. The tight weave and robust construction indicate it was made for practical use, perhaps for gathering produce or as a market basket.
We love the honest wear on this piece — it tells a story of utility and time. These kinds of everyday objects, crafted with care, have a quiet presence that feels grounding and real.

ABOUT VINTAGE BASKETRY - Handwoven baskets have been essential household items for centuries, made to carry, store, and endure. Their wear tells stories of markets, harvests, and daily life. As mass production replaced handcraft, these honest, hardwearing pieces have become harder to find. They offer an organic connection to the past, bringing a sense of grounding to contemporary spaces.
