Description from the seller

This mid-20th-century wicker trunk stands out for its solid presence and artisanal craftsmanship. Its rectangular structure is built from an interlaced weave of plant fibers with great regularity, creating a very marked geometric pattern that adds texture and visual rhythm. The basketry work is meticulous, with a firm braid 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 trunk’s volume and underscore its traditional character. The lid, likewise woven, maintains the design’s continuity and integrates harmoniously with the rest of the body.

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

The overall impression is one of warmth, simplicity, and authenticity. It is a trunk that works both as a decorative piece and as a versatile container, ideal for rustic, Mediterranean, or contemporary interiors that value natural materials and traditional craftsmanship.

Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
