This antique harvesting basket from rural China is a fascinating artifact of traditional Chinese rural life. These baskets were typically used for carrying crops such as wheat, vegetables or tea leafs from the fields to the market. This farmhouse basket is unusually large and handwoven with a bamboo frame. The round shape of this large vegetable basket makes it easy to carry and rest it on top of the head and has very sturdy construction allowing to carry heavy loads. One of the unique characteristics of this antique harvesting baskets from rural China is their oxidation and age. Over time, the bamboo and woven materials used in the construction of these baskets develop a unique patina which is normal due to its exposure to the outdoor elements. The oxidation and age of these woven baskets add to their rustic and authentic charm, and make them an interesting decorative element in homes, restaurants and hotels. These large baskets will make a beautiful wall art display by itself or as a cluster but it could also be a charming accessory on top of your table or kitchen island. This basket has a large stain due to age and use.
