ProfessionalProduct description
Before plastic boxes and standardized storage invaded our homes, needlework had its own small pieces of furniture. Near the armchair or in the bedroom, the workbox held balls of yarn, needles, patterns, and the work-in-progress that would be resumed the next day. This charming rattan workbox from the 1960s-1970s is an integral part of this everyday history. Standing approximately 61 cm tall, it has a particularly slender silhouette. Its large, arched handle naturally extends the structure and allowed the workbox to be easily transported from one room to another. The basket, deep and generous, is entirely surrounded by thin rattan canes arranged horizontally. They form a regular succession of lines around the basket, held in place by vertical uprights and traditional bindings. The elevated base completes the transformation of what could have been just a basket into a true small piece of craft furniture. Inside, its pretty orange-red textile lining remains, dotted with tiny flowers, wonderfully evocative of 60s and 70s decor. The greens, blues, and whites of the small flowers punctuate the warm background and create a particularly pleasing contrast with the honey color of the rattan. The rattan has a beautiful patina acquired over the decades. The workbox shows normal signs of its history: wear and marks on the rattan, some fragility on certain strands and bindings, as well as a small snag in the textile lining. These details are visible in the photographs. It will naturally regain its primary function with a sewing, crochet, or knitting enthusiast. Its beautiful silhouette also allows for alternative uses: a basket for antique linens, storage for throws, magazines, or yarn, or simply a decorative piece in a bohemian, shabby chic, or vintage interior. Total height: approximately 61 cm. Width: approximately 30 cm. 1960s-1970s.
