Vintage Wicker Trunk Basket

A beautiful vintage wicker trunk basket, likely dating to the 1940s-1960s, European origin with handmade reeds and older oak slats, featuring a rich honey-toned weave and substantial rectangular silhouette.

This piece has the presence of a European linen basket — warm, textural, and quietly striking. The lid is attached by two original string bindings that function as rustic hinges, adding charm and character while allowing the top to open and close easily.

Size is: 12 inches x 20 inches long and 10 inches high.

The braided front handle enhances its handcrafted feel, and the interior offers storage for blankets, toys, or seasonal linens.

Its tone and weave make it a natural fit for cottage, Tuscan, English manor, or coastal-inspired interiors.
