It is a shallow, open gathering basket with a wide oval mouth, sloping sides and a single arched handle. It was made for practical use, perhaps for harvesting, market shopping or carrying produce, and the construction is sturdy and unfussy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe basket is woven from flat wooden splints in a simple over-and-under pattern, over a frame of broader vertical ribs. Wider strips are bent over the rim and held in place as reinforcement, and the handle is a single curved band of wood fixed at the centre. The wood has a warm, honey-to-tobacco-brown patina from age and handling, with a dry, softly worn surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt works well as storage for logs, kindling, magazines, blankets or firewood, as a planter cover, or simply as a sculptural piece on a table, shelf or kitchen counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLength 44cm, width 29cm, height 30cm (including handle).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55696403824982,"sku":"BHO-0037","price":450.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/7445\/5894\/files\/Frenchantiquebasket-2.jpg?v=1791718850","url":"https:\/\/bluehourobjects.com\/en-dk\/products\/antique-french-harvest-basket-chestnut-or-willow-splint-green-paint-remains","provider":"Blue Hour Objects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
