Large Wicker Willow Basket Turned Wood Handles Slat Bottom Rustic Farmhouse

Beautiful vintage large woven willow/wicker basket featuring substantial turned wooden handles with rounded ball ends and a rustic wooden slat bottom.  This is a particularly attractive older basket with dark, naturally aged patina throughout. The combination of tightly woven wicker, unusual turned wood side handles, wicker-wrapped handle attachments, and wooden slatted base gives it wonderful primitive/French Country character.  A great statement piece for French Country, English Country, farmhouse, cottage, primitive or rustic decor. Its generous size makes it ideal for displaying blankets, pillows, magazines, firewood, dried flowers or other decorative items.  Approximate measurements:  * About 25–26” across from handle to handle * About 10” high to the top of the wooden handles  Condition: Vintage pre-owned condition with wonderful age-related character and patina. There is expected wear, discoloration and variation to the wood and wicker from age and use. Some wicker shows breaks, splits and/or protruding ends, as pictured. The wooden slat bottom also shows significant age and wear. Please review all photos closely as they are an important part of the condition description.  No maker’s mark or label was found. Exact age and country of origin are unknown. Similar baskets have been described as vintage European/French baskets, but this piece is being sold as French Country style rather than attributed to a specific maker or country.
