Description from the seller
Vintage Handwoven Coiled Basket with Sculptural Lid – Tribal Folk Art Style
A beautifully crafted handwoven basket featuring an impressive sculptural silhouette, intricate coiled construction and a striking geometric pattern in natural straw, ivory and black.
This distinctive piece showcases traditional basket-weaving techniques, with tightly wound natural fibres secured by contrasting bindings to create an elegant interplay of texture, colour and pattern.
The generously proportioned rounded body is complemented by an architectural, tiered lid rising to a tall, sculptural finial. The interior reveals equally impressive craftsmanship, with concentric woven patterns continuing throughout.
Both functional and decorative, this basket makes a wonderful statement piece for a console table, sideboard, coffee table or curated collection of artisan objects.
Its earthy palette and organic form complement Mid-Century Modern, Organic Modern, Bohemian, Global and Eclectic interiors.
