Description

ANTIQUE CHINESE WEDDING BASKET 3-TIER WOVEN WICKER WITH LOCK.
IN OVERALL GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION.
THERE ARE SIGNS OF AGE, SOME BREAKAGE ON THE METAL BINDINGS AT THE BOTTOM OF BOTH SIDES (PICTURED)  ONE OF THE STRIPS OF WOOD THAT GOES ACROSS THE TOP FOR THE HANDLE IS MISSING.  THE BOX IS LOCKED AND HAS BEEN FOR MANY YEARS, THE LOCK APPEARS TO BE PICKABLE, WITH A LITTLE EFFORT.
VERY INTERESTING AND BEAUTIFUL WOVEN PATTERN ON THE TOP OF THE LID. A SMALL AREA OF DEGRADATION AND BROKEN WEAVES AT THE EDGE OF THE TOP.  IN OVERALL SOLID CONDITION, IT FEELS STURDY AND IS FAIRLY LIGHT WEIGHT.  I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY MORE LAYERS OF BASKETS INSIDE, PERHAPS UP TO 7 OR 8.
