Description

Antique Japanese Flower Basket — 1880s, Meiji Era (SKU: 25M-521)

Gracefully Woven for a Moment of Stillness

This exquisite antique flower basket hails from the Meiji era, a time when Japan was opening its gates to the world yet holding tightly to its artisanal roots. Woven with remarkable skill and intention, the form curves gently upward in a tall, elegant silhouette — a vessel that once cradled the poetic art of ikebana. The basket's warm, natural tones and tightly interlaced zigzag pattern speak to the harmony between functionality and refined beauty, so prized in Japanese aesthetics.

Each strand of bamboo carries a memory — of nature, of hand, of season — as it spirals upward, meeting a braided handle that suggests both strength and grace. Ideal for display, floral arrangements, or as a focal piece in a curated interior, this basket radiates a quiet dignity only age and craftsmanship can bestow.
