About the Item

Large Early 20th Century Asian Hand-Woven Winnowing Basket – Folk Art Wall Sculpture This large early 20th century hand-woven winnowing basket is a striking example of traditional Asian craftsmanship and makes for a stunning piece of wall art. Measuring 23.5 inches in diameter by 5 inches deep, the basket is beautifully constructed with a light, airy weave that speaks to its utilitarian roots while exuding the charm of handmade folk art. Originally, winnowing baskets were used throughout Asia as essential agricultural tools. Farmers would toss grain into the air, allowing the wind to separate the lighter chaff from the heavier kernels. Each basket was handwoven from natural materials such as bamboo, rattan, or reed, often with regional variations in style and technique. Today, these baskets are highly collectible not only for their historical significance but also for their sculptural, textural quality that translates seamlessly into modern interior design. This particular piece, with its symmetry, patina, and fine weave, showcases the beauty of an object that was once purely functional. Its folk art appeal makes it an excellent choice for collectors of ethnographic objects, Asian antiques, and early 20th-century handmade tools, as well as anyone seeking unique wall décor. Hung alone as a bold statement or grouped with other woven objects, it offers a warm, organic focal point. The basket is in lovely antique condition, with minor surface wear consistent with age and use, enhancing its authenticity and character.
