Chinese Woven Market Basket with Divider, circa 1850

About the Item

It is easy to imagine someone, long ago, walking to market on a summer's day with this beautiful woven basket tucked under their arm. Hand-woven of willow and twine, the basket has a rectangular form woven around a wooden rim and held by an arched bentwood handle. A wooden divider splits the basket into six small compartments, perhaps intended to keep herbs and produce separate while shopping. Additional dimensions: Without handle: 8"H Compartments: approx. 4.5"W x 4.5"D x 6"H.
