This antique backpack basket, manufactured between 1880 and 1940, is an authentic piece of agricultural heritage. The design is functional and robust, characteristic of the period when such baskets were used to carry heavy loads in the fields.
The basket is handcrafted from willow twigs, a material known for its durability and flexibility. The piece features the original woven carrying straps and wooden runners on the underside, which served to drag the basket across the ground without damaging the weaving. The natural brown color of the wicker and wood gives the object a warm, organic appearance.
The basket is in good, original condition with a beautiful patina that bears witness to decades of use. The construction has remained intact, underscoring the quality of the original craftsmanship.
This historic object looks excellent in a country or rustic interior. It can serve as a striking decorative element or as a unique storage solution for, for example, firewood or throws.
