Woven River Basket

Offered by: PAGODA RED

Description
Centuries ago, a woven reed fisherman’s basket such as this would have been common in rural China as an everyday item, used until it became worn through. This hand-woven example remains in beautiful condition and features a tapered woven body secured to a round bentwood rim. Antique iron nail heads and woven banding to the wooden rim add to the basket's rich character. Left unfinished, the basket blends into neutral interiors with timeworn texture and light brown color.
