Add a touch of whimsy and artisanal craftsmanship to your home with this delightful vintage wicker duck basket. Hand-woven using the intricate "Shanghai weave" technique, this piece is a testament to skilled folk artistry. The basket features a tightly braided rattan body finished in a warm, lacquered russet tone, complete with a sculpted head, painted eyes, and a charming red cap. The graceful curve of the neck and the sturdy construction make it as durable as it is decorative, perfectly embodying the playful spirit of Boho Chic and Chinoiserie decor. Measuring a generous 22.5 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 9.25 inches tall, this figural tray is substantial enough to serve as a functional centerpiece. It is ideal for holding fresh fruit on a kitchen island, organizing mail in an entryway, or storing rolled hand towels in a guest bath. It is in vintage condition, displaying a rich, aged patina and minor wear to the lacquer or weave that is consistent with its age and natural material, adding to its authentic character. Bring this unique woven creature into your home for an instant infusion of warmth and personality.
