Description

This vintage zebra basket is a striking example of the meticulously detailed "Shanghai weave" technique, a hallmark of mid-century artisanal craftsmanship. Hand-woven with graphic, alternating stripes of natural and stained wicker, the piece captures a dynamic sense of movement and playful elegance. Its spirited silhouette is enhanced by a textured, frayed wicker mane and expertly carved wooden accents on the hooves and face, reflecting a mid-century affinity for global folk art and whimsical animal motifs. Perfectly suited for a Hollywood Regency sunroom or an eclectic gallery shelf, this sculptural figurine brings a spirited, artisanal touch to any designer space. Functionality meets artistry in this lidded vessel, which features a discreetly removable compartment on the back topped with a carved bamboo-style handle—ideal for housing small treasures or office sundries. Measuring 17.75 inches long, 5.75 inches deep, and 16.25 inches tall, its slender profile allows for versatile placement on a narrow mantle or entryway console. The piece is in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting a warm, authentic patina and minor character-filled wear that underscores its hand-crafted history. Elevate your interior collection with this unique and charming conversation piece today.
