20th Century Danish Handwoven Straw Basket with Sculptural Handle, Denmark 1970s

About the Item

Charming Danish handwoven straw basket from the mid-20th century, showcasing the refined simplicity and functionality typical of Scandinavian craft traditions. The basket features a tapered, upright silhouette and is constructed from tightly woven straw, framed with bent bamboo details and pegged joinery. The organically shaped bamboo handle adds a sculptural elegance and a natural rhythm to the design. Inside, the basket is lined with its original deep red textile, offering a subtle contrast to the natural tones of the straw and bamboo. Originally intended for domestic use — likely for knitting supplies, kindling, or small household storage — it now serves beautifully as a decorative object or a unique piece of functional art. Its clean lines and natural materials make it an ideal accent in both modern and rustic interiors.
