Portuguese Rectangular Wicker Basket

About the Item

Rectangular wicker basket. It has a firm base in interwoven straw with a reinforced structure at the edges, revealing careful craftsmanship. The high, wide, one-piece handle is inserted at the ends of the base, providing stability and functionality during transportation. This type of object is traditionally associated with domestic use, for transporting or presenting small foods, flowers or various objects, and is also used as a decorative element in country or rural-inspired environments. The visible wear and tear and the marks of time give it value, evoking the everyday practices of yesteryear. Pieces like this refer to the ancestral wisdom of manual labor, valuing natural raw materials and functional solutions adapted to the domestic life of yesteryear.
