About the Item

An antique Chinese rattan double tier lunch basket, woven with a rustic yet functional aesthetic characteristic of early 20th-century utilitarian wares. The rectangular basket features a wood base and a tightly woven rattan body topped with a matching fitted lid, emphasizing both durability and craftsmanship. Rising above the lid is a bamboo handle with tripartite construction, providing structural strength while adding visual interest through its segmented form. The natural materials exhibit a warm, aged patina, reflecting long use and traditional handcraft techniques. Originally intended for the transport of meals, this basket now serves equally well as a decorative or storage object, lending texture and authenticity to a kitchen, pantry, or living space.
