*LARGE* Vintage Handmade Ethnic African Basket
Tax included
Out of stock
This beautiful handcrafted African basket is deeper than the average basket we usually stock, so it is perfect to place on a coffee table, or used as a fruit bowl. It would also look stunning placed on a shelf, or wall mounted, as we have shown in our photos. This basket has a very eye catching design and would make the perfect addition to a boho inspired interior!
Sourced from Zimbabwe, these baskets are hand-woven from natural grasses - no two baskets are the same! We have a variety of sizes/styles in stock, so please contact us if you would like to buy multiple baskets.
– Hand-woven from Ilala palm grass and natural dye

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need. Drawers may need new runners, handles can be missing or damaged, and joints may require repair or reinforcement. We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, we know that the right restoration techniques can make all the difference. It’s a delicate process that takes patience, skill and attention to detail — one we’ve taken the time to perfect. Each piece is carefully and sensitively restored, preserving its original character and charm while giving it a new lease of life.
Finishing
Finally, we add the finishing touches — whether that’s painting, oiling or sealing, fitting new handles, hinges or catches, or simply giving the piece a final clean and polish. We make sure every piece is ready for modern living, giving it a new lease of life and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to be loved for generations to come.
Before and after
Each piece is carefully and sympathetically restored to preserve the character, charm and beautiful details that make it unique. The result is a truly individual piece of furniture, thoughtfully restored for
modern living and ready to bring warmth, personality and timeless style to your home for years to come.
