Description

Sealed rattan basket made in the villages of Karnataka which is in the south-west of India. Originally used in food markets to display and transport fresh produce. Today it would make a great desk tidy or place to keep keys and change. It's still very tough and durable, so it's got decades of practical use left in it making it an interesting and sustainable way to decorate your home.
