Vintage Picking Basket

A beautifully worn piece with the texture and character of something that once had a very practical purpose.

This vintage picking basket features a low, open form with a wonderfully weathered woven surface and deep, earthy patina. Originally made as a utilitarian basket for gathering and carrying, each has developed its own variations in shape, color, texture, and wear through years of use.

Today, we love these as large decorative vessels. Fill one with seasonal branches, dried botanicals, pinecones, or a collection of pumpkins, or leave it empty and let the aged construction speak for itself. Because every basket is genuinely vintage, no two will be exactly alike.

Please Note

The basket you receive will vary from the one pictured. These are authentic vintage pieces sourced individually, so differences in dimensions, shape, weave, coloration, patina, and condition are expected. We consider these variations an important part of their history and character.

Styling Notes

For fall, fill one with pumpkins, dried gourds, branches, or natural botanicals and place it on a hearth, console, or large dining table. In winter, switch to pinecones and evergreen branches; in spring, use flowering branches or leave it empty.

The dark, heavily aged texture is especially beautiful beside old wood, stoneware, iron, linen, and lighter pottery.
