American Splint Wicker Pie Picnic Basket Hinged Lid & Handles, early 20th c.
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Antique or vintage woven pie, picnic, or market basket features a traditional rectangular shape with reinforced rim, hinged lid, wooden shelf insert, and twin solid wood handles. The rim is formed by carved bent ash splints, and the lid is reinforced with carved solid wood elements. The handles and wooden trim on the lid add not only visual interest, but also structural stability and ease of use to the piece; the insert allows for the additional functionality. The basket is in very good antique or vintage condition with beautiful, age-appropriate patina on wood; its convenient size and shape and sturdy construction allow it to be used both as a decor piece and as decorative storage. Sculptural basket with elegant traditional form, high quality craftsmanship, and statement piece presence will make a perfect addition to a wide range of interiors, from Traditional to Organic Modern, Modernist, Transitional, Japandi, Scandinavian Modern, Collected, Modern Country, or Contemporary, or a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast. Provenance: the basket was acquired from a collector's estate in Finger Lakes area of Western New York state. We are offering another early American basket...
