    Description

    An antique rattan basket with its original locking hardware. It was originally purchased on a trip to the Far East in 1991 from Lei Mei, Ltd.  Their original tags and description are still inside the basket.  At that time, it was described as approximately 80 years old.   I acquired it in a sale of a collection of items from an author, traveler, and collector of Asian and African ethnographic items. The basket is in good used condition with appropriate wear to the ropes and hardware. There is also some wear near the base which I have pictured.  The rattan lid still fits tightly. The basket measures 17 1/4 inches H (44 cm) x 8 1/4 inches W (21 cm).
