Vintage Tall Chinese Wedding Basket | Asia | 1941 | 18"
A rare and beautifully preserved vintage Chinese wedding basket, likely gifted to a couple in 1941. Handwoven with intricate craftsmanship and adorned with handwritten calligraphy on the wooden handle arches, this piece is both functional and deeply symbolic. The inscriptions include blessings of love, trust, and unity, along with the date May 3, Year 30 of the Republic of China (1941), and names that likely belonged to the bride and groom.
Once used for gifting or carrying offerings during traditional wedding ceremonies, this basket now serves as a meaningful decorative piece -- ideal for organic modern, global eclectic, or collected interiors. Style it on the floor, atop a cabinet, or use as a sculptural storage accent.
