Rare ! Panier de marché soldes de cueillette antique rectangulaire attelle chêne tissé 14"x11"

WOW! Super antique hand weaved market or gathering basket, probably later 1800s. Nice rich brown tones. Makes a great display piece as shown in pictures. We just put a few colorful pieces of fruit & fabric in it to show its display potential. We searched eBay going back over 25 years and did not see one exactly like this. Only a few authentic and nice rectangle style baskets come up for sale per year (if any), but we did not find a single one with this cross weave pattern on the handle. The basket is in great shape but not perfect, but we did not see anything really effecting its appeal or display quality. This was from a private collection of outstanding primitives & antiques. We left it much as we found it, minus some dust. It makes a great display piece and in a nice size for most counters, shelves or other. It weighs just about a pound and is pretty solid all around. We believe it is oak, but could be another wood perhaps.
