Fisherman's Basket

Basket making is an ancient and humble craft, but in the hands of a skilled weaver a simple willow basket becomes a truly beautiful statement. The artisan’s mastery is evident in this early 20th century bent handle basket: the strong, flexible willow strips are skillfully intertwined into a tight weave, finished by a delicately braided trim. Dark lacquer patches the underside for a watertight seal. Still in remarkable condition, we love this basket as a spot for firewood, wastepaper, or anything you want stored beautifully.
