Early 20th Century Chinese Rimmed Fisherman Basket

Description

Centuries ago, a reed fisherman’s basket like this one would have been fairly common in rural China: an everyday item that would have been used until it was worn through. This particular example remains in beautiful condition and so a century later, it has become a lovely collector’s item. The willow and reed has worn beautifully with time but remain intact, a true testament to the weaver's skill.
