Take a look at this rustic organic beauty; nicely-sized in an oval shape and handcrafted by a local (Kansas City) basket artisan. The traditional name given to this type of basket shape is market or shopper basket but it will accommodate anything from blanket throws to garden veggies or simply serve as a graceful decorative accent. Crafted from brown willow in a French randing weave, the bent wood wrapped handle has been integrated into the plaited border for secure fastening. This basket is a version of a traditional Liverpool, New York willow basket. It measures 15” x 18” x 14” H/W/D; internal depth 7”. Color is naturally aged tan brownish willow; weight 1 lb. 8 oz. In excellent condition with minimal use wear evident.

Thanks for looking! less
