Woven Rattan Flower Basket | Mid-Century European

A flat, wide rattan flower basket from mid-century Europe — built to display, carry, or simply hold things well, with a form that reads clearly from across the room.

Woven rattan construction with an open, even weave throughout. The flat, elongated shape — 43 cm long, 28 cm wide, 7.5 cm deep — is characteristic of the flower and harvest baskets produced across Europe in this period. Light in hand at 250 g, it works as well wall-hung as it does on a surface. Origin unknown, consistent with mid-century European production.

Flat woven flower baskets of this form were produced throughout mid-century Europe as multi-purpose carrying and display objects, with the clean open weave and shallow body that made them suited to fresh or dried botanicals, bread, or small objects. Simple in intention; considered in construction.
