About the Item

This late Qing Dynasty Chinese woven basket brings together craftsmanship and decorative detail in a form that is both functional and striking. The rounded body is finely woven from natural fibers, finished with black lacquered bands that frame the design and give contrast to the warm tone of the weave. A tall, arched handle rises over the lid, further embellished with painted gilt characters and wrapped with cane at the grip for strength and visual balance. The base features a carved and gilt-decorated frieze with scrolling dragon and leaf motifs, adding a touch of refinement that elevates the piece beyond simple utility. The fitted lid mirrors the body with intricate woven patterns, creating a cohesive and harmonious look. Traditionally used for carrying offerings or storing personal items, baskets of this type today make elegant decorative accents. Placed on a sideboard, console, or shelf, this example adds both texture and historic character, pairing well with eclectic interiors as well as Asian-inspired settings.
