Description :

An authentic piece of traditional Chinese ceremonial craft. This vintage wedding basket, also known as a betrothal basket, was historically used to carry gifts or food during marriage ceremonies. Unlike the tiered versions, this single-compartment design offers a deep, open space perfect for large decorative displays or unique storage.

The lot features:

• Single-Chamber Design: A deep, spacious hand-woven basket, ideal for use as a centerpiece, a planter cover, or a high-end gift hamper.

• Intricate Weaving: Features detailed hand-woven patterns in natural bamboo or rattan, showcasing a high level of traditional craftsmanship.

• Arched Carrying Handle: A sturdy, reinforced handle designed for transport, providing a beautiful silhouette for any room.

• Symbolism: A traditional symbol of union and prosperity, making it a meaningful addition to any collection of Asian antiques.

Condition: Good Vintage Condition. The weaving is structurally sound with a warm, aged patina. Shows minor surface wear consistent with its vintage origin, adding to its authentic character.
