Large Wheat Basket Made With Esparto Grass or Hemp, Garden Ornaments Pot Cover

About the Item

Beautiful old handmade piece In central Spain, in this case specifically in Los Campos de Castilla and which was used to store wheat or grain and the harvest in general. His name in Spanish is Escriño It is a large basket container made of straw, wicker or hemp, sewn in a spiral shape, creating a very firm container that supports the weight of wheat and the risks of transportation. In this case it is a large piece, although there are larger ones. which has currently lost its function as a container, to become a decorative article Its special function currently would be as a pot cover for large plants, both indoors and covered outdoors. The piece is not perfect, it is as seen with the patina and the typical defects of the passage of years and the wear and tear of its use. They are no longer used and therefore are no longer manufactured and are difficult to find since when they are no longer used in the field, many fuero abandoned or destroyed These pieces were inherited from generation to generation along with other farming or livestock utensils. In this case it can and appears to be many years old, it is impossible to calculate the precise period since in Europe, especially in the countryside in old houses, there are items that can be many years old or many centuries old. In this case I would dare to say that he is many, many years old. It is very decorative as a pot, it will give a special touch to the place where you place it.
