This is a listing for a very nice vintage basket.
Woven from wooden splints and Hong Kong
twisted cord.....
Lid with splint handle fits nicely on basket.
Seems to have been dyed burgundy,,dye shows on 
bottom and under the lid.....not on the interior
of the body of the basket. The dye has faded
on this fancy sewing basket. Stands 5 1/2" tall
and about 8" across.  Excellent condition....I see
no broken curls.
