Antique Hand Woven Wood Splint Market Basket w/ Bentwood Handle
Description: Splint baskets similar to this one were once common for gathering vegetables, fruits, flowers and even groceries from the local market. This American handcrafted split wood basket in a somewhat oval form, appears to be crafted with a few different woods. In a nice larger size, smooth bentwood handle from years of use and natural patina, this basket would make an outstanding display piece.
