Vintage Red Painted Wooden Basket with Tall Handle

This vintage red painted wooden basket has a bold, sculptural silhouette and a sense of considered craftsmanship. With its rounded base, smooth curved handle and fitted lid, it is both practical and decorative, with a presence that makes it instantly eye catching.

Measuring 44 cm high and 24 cm wide, the basket is made entirely from wood with a gently domed lid and low plinth base. The tall, upright handle arches beautifully over the form, making it a strong standalone piece as well as a versatile storage container. The red painted surface has aged naturally over time, softening to a warm, worn finish with subtle tonal variation and small marks from use.

Originally designed to carry or store food or dry goods, this piece would now be best suited as a statement object in a hallway, living space or bedroom. It could be styled with dried flowers, used to store scarves or trinkets, or simply left closed to highlight its form and patina.

In good vintage condition with surface wear, minor scuffs and an aged look to the paint. The handle is sturdy and the lid sits well. Full of character and presence, this is a piece that adds impact and history to any interior.
