Tuscan Rattan Basket | Handwoven · 34 cm

A handwoven Tuscan rattan basket that earns its place in a kitchen, at table, or propped by the door — the kind of object that looks right without trying.Woven from natural rattan in a close, intricate pattern that gives the basket both structure and warmth. The round form sits at 34 cm across, with a generous 22 cm height — wide enough for bread, fruit, or whatever the day calls for. The handle arcs overhead to a total height of 50 cm, its slight asymmetry a mark of hand manufacture rather than a flaw. No two are the same.This basket comes from Tuscany, made during the 1970s when Italian artisan basketweaving was still a living domestic tradition — pieces produced not for export or decoration but for daily use in Italian households. Rattan was the material of choice: light, durable, and easy to work by hand. Pieces from this period carry the texture and variation that factory production never achieves.Key Features Finish / Hardware: Natural rattan, close-woven with intricate pattern detail Era: 1970s Tuscan artisan production Features: Round form · Overhead handle · Hand-asymmetric construction Included: Basket only DimensionsDiameter 34 cm · Basket height 22 cm · Overall height with handle 50 cmCare Instructions Wipe clean with a dry or lightly damp cloth — do not soak Keep away from prolonged moisture to prevent warping Store away from direct sunlight to preserve the natural colour A light brush removes dust from the weave without disturbing the structure
