Chinese Bent Handle Fisherman's Basket, circa 1850
About the Item
Basket making is an ancient and humble craft, but in the hands of a skilled weaver a simple willow basket can become a truly beautiful work of art. This bent handle basket was made in China long ago, and the artisan’s mastery is evident: the strong, flexible willow strips are skillfully intertwined into a delicate pattern. The wider bands of the handle add presence and strength to the intricate patterning represented in the weave.
This particular example is further decorated with a fabric trim and painted characters along the handles and sides, now faded from years of use. The large basket has worn beautifully with time, but remains in remarkable condition - a testament to its expert craftsmanship. We love it for firewood, toys, wastepaper or anything you want stored beautifully.
