A beautifully hand-crafted bent wood basket or bucket made by manipulating the wood to fit tightly together. When dried, the basket would have made a nice, nearly waterproof seal. This Swiss basket would have been used to carry fruits, vegetables or flowers. There are two grooves in the back beneath the upper horizontal binding. It may have accommodated ribbon-like straps and be worn as a backpack for cherry or fruit pickers. The vertical wood slats do not sit as tightly and can move, this piece is not watertight.

This is a lovely antique basket or bucket that would make a lovely centrepiece on a dining table, filled or empty. It is authentic and made in Switzerland.

❖Condition: As this is an antique wood bucket, there are signs of use, such as watermarks and the worn aspect of the wood. The wood pieces are not fasten or glued so they do move within their grooves. Please examine the photos to see the authentic condition of this piece. I am always available to answer any questions.
Please note that I use strong lighting to help highlight the maximum amount of detail of each piece. As each piece is bathed in such strong lighting conditions, the on-screen effect will possibly make the item appear lighter in colour and tone. Your piece may look slightly darker in more natural lighting conditions.
