ProfessionalProduct description
There was a time when needlework rarely left the living room. Near an armchair, threads, needles, balls of yarn, a few buttons, and that piece of fabric to be resumed the next day, were kept within reach. It is to this almost vanished domestic world that this delightful rattan sewing workbox belongs. Much more than a simple basket, it was designed as a true small piece of furniture. Its blond rattan structure exhibits remarkable bending and lashing work. Long slender rods form the sides of the basket, while a succession of large rattan loops runs all around its upper part, giving the whole a light and particularly decorative silhouette. The workbox rests on a delicately arched base and has its large handle, which once allowed it to be easily moved from one room to another with the work in progress. Inside, its printed fabric basket remains, in cream, green, and red tones, with a charming motif evoking Indienne prints and Provençal fabrics. This textile immediately brings to the piece that warm atmosphere of family homes and mid-20th-century interiors. The rattan retains a beautiful honey hue and that patina that only several decades can impart. Some marks of time are present, as well as a small damaged strand visible beneath the structure. The interior textile also shows signs of wear, visible in the photographs. It will naturally resume its primary function with a sewing or knitting enthusiast, but can just as beautifully hold balls of yarn, vintage linens, magazines, or simply become a vintage rattan decorative object in a bedroom, living room, or workshop. Height: approx. 42 cm. Basket width: approx. 30 cm. 1960s-1970s.
