Description

Large Handwoven Reed Basket – Natural & Dyed Fiber Rectangular Form, 29”

A striking large handwoven basket crafted from natural reed and dyed cane fibers in a warm, two-tone checkerboard pattern. The rectangular form with softly curved edges highlights the artisan’s precision and control, while the plaited weaving technique adds both durability and textural depth. Measuring nearly 29 inches wide, this substantial piece reflects the enduring beauty of traditional handcraft, likely produced in the mid-to-late 20th century in the style of American or Southeast Asian reed basketry.

Ideal as a decorative accent or functional centerpiece, this basket complements farmhouse, bohemian, or coastal interiors—perfect for displaying linens, fruit, or as wall décor. Its organic color palette and natural craftsmanship make it a versatile piece equally suited for collectors of handmade folk art or modern rustic design enthusiasts.

Condition:

Good condition as shown, with light surface wear and minor irregularities in the weave consistent with handmade construction. No major breaks or repairs observed; the structure remains stable and display-ready.

Dimensions:

Approximately 4" H x 29" W x 17.5" D
