$350

Antiques & Decorative Arts · Late Qing to Early Republic Period, circa 1880–1930

A substantial antique Chinese octagonal multi-tier woven rattan and wicker storage basket, commonly referred to as a wedding or dowry basket, featuring a large arched iron or brass handle with decorative cutwork flourishes and scrolled terminals. The octagonal form is defined by carved wooden frame trim at each tier junction, with finely woven rattan panels on the body and lid surface. This large-format example is one of a matched pair (accompanied by a smaller basket), which materially enhances its collectible and decorative value.
