Take a look at this beauty, handwoven by a local basket maker (Kansas City), and made entirely of white oak splint which has weathered into a pale almond honey hue. Large in size, this gathering basket has a lovely side to side or braided rim with the rest of the basket featuring various patterns of over and under randing. The double bent handles are secure and woven into the body of the basket. The handles come together in the center and are secured by a decorative but sturdy woven accent. In excellent condition with minimal use wear, it measures 24” x 17” x 17” W/H/D; interior 21” x 7” W/D; weight 1 lb. 9 oz. It’s a softer, curvy rectangular shape that adds to its whimsical charm. This beauty will prove to be not only a great decorative accent but a fabulous piece to stylishly store books, blanket throws or anything else that need to be tucked away but kept close at hand. From one basket collector to another, it’s hard not to be drawn to its natural beauty!

Thanks for looking! less
