AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This mid-20th-century wicker chest stands out for its solid presence and handmade craftsmanship. Its rectangular frame is built from an interlaced weave of plant fibers with great regularity, creating a strongly defined geometric pattern that adds texture and visual rhythm. The basketry work is meticulous, with a firm plaiting that ensures durability and a warm, natural aesthetic.

The edges and corners are reinforced with thicker rods, which not only add structural stability but also frame the volume of the trunk and emphasize its traditional character. The lid, likewise woven, maintains the continuity of the design and integrates harmoniously with the rest of the body.

A practical and distinctive detail of this kind of piece is the presence of small wheels on the base, which facilitate its movement without compromising its appearance. This functional element reflects the domestic spirit of the mid-20th century, when the aim was to combine utility and aesthetics in everyday objects.

The set conveys a sense of warmth, simplicity, and authenticity. It is a chest that functions both as a decorative piece and as a versatile container, ideal for rustic, Mediterranean, or contemporary interiors that value natural materials and traditional craftsmanship.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
