VINTAGE WILLOW/WICKER COVERED HANDLED BASKET UNUSUAL

Description

Vtg Willow Covered Basket. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
THIS I THINK IS A VERY UNIQUE BASKET AS I COULD NOT FIND ANYWHERE, ONE HAVING A COVER TOP LIKE THIS ONE, NEITHER ON EBAY NOR GOOGLE. IT IS THE KIND OF BASKET THAT JUST SPOKE TO ME. I TOOK A DRY BRUSH TO GET THE DUST OUT BUT OTHER THAN THAT I LEFT ALONE FOR SOMEONE WITH MORE EXPERIENCE IN BASKETRY TO BRING BACK TO IT'S GLORY. MOST HAS VERY NICE PATINA  AND I WOULD GO OVER WITH A STAIN TO MAKE IT MORE UNIFORM BUT OTHER THAN THAT I WOULD LEAVE ALONE.
I HAVE IT UNDER SEWING BASKETS BUT IT MIGHT HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT USE.
IT MEASURES 10 TALL by about 17" WIDE by ABOUT 10" IN DEPTH. HARD TO MEASURE SO THIS IS ROUGHLY THE MEASUREMENTS. THE HANDLES SWIVEL AND THEY ARE ATTACHED WITH SMALL WIRE RINGS. THE HANDLE IS NOT BROKEN ENTIRELY BUT ONE STRAND IS & COULD BE GLUED BACK TO ITS OTHER PART. IT HAS A LATCH THAT GOES OVER THE KNOB THAT PROJECTS AND THAT IS STILL STRONG. I ALSO CALL THE WEAVING WILLOW & WICKER BUT AM NOT 100% SURE ON THAT SO HOPING ON THE ENLARGEMENTS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL.
IT JUST SHOWS VERY NICELY AND STILL USEABLE.
