Exceptional Craftsmanship & Structural Integrity
This isn\'t your average lightweight wicker. This is a substantial, professional-grade hearth basket crafted from full-core jumbo rattan. Weighing in at a solid 2 lbs, measuring 22\" handle to handle
13\" wide & 6\" to top of handles
It features a sophisticated \"notched-joinery\" technique where the primary reeds are fitted directly into the cross-supports, providing a level of sturdiness rarely seen in modern reproductions.
Artisan Details
The standout feature is the pair of hand-carved solid tropical hardwood handles (likely Mahogany). Rather than being attached as an afterthought, the rattan is integrated and woven directly through the wood, creating a seamless and incredibly strong mechanical bond. The handles feature a subtle scalloped ergonomic grip on the underside for comfortable carrying.
Condition & Aesthetic
The piece is in excellent vintage condition—remarkably clean with no fraying, it appears to be missing one reed on the handle due to natural wear but no brittle fibers, or structural breaks that I have noticed. . It features a deep, multi-tonal reddish-brown \"antique wash\" finish that highlights the natural texture of the thick-gauge weave.
Versatile Styling
While sturdy enough to serve as a functional hearth basket for kindling, its high-end finish and \"Boho Luxe\" appeal make it a perfect oversized coffee table tray or a statement piece for coastal and cottage decor.
