Ships from Texas. Shipping cost calculated at checkout.

An oval woven rattan storage box from the mid-century period; made to be used and has ended up being kept for how it looks. The weave is tight and even, the geometric reed detailing a mark of the period’s confidence in pattern and craft. The rattan has aged to a warm honey tone, the surface smooth and consistent, the integrated handle rising from the lid with a clean, sculptural arc. At 10 by 6 inches, it has the scale of a desk or shelf object — useful, or simply present.

Mid-century woven pieces of this type — oval, lidded, handled — were produced across the United States, Japan, and Southeast Asia as functional domestic objects. The best examples, like this one, read as design objects: the form resolved, the material honest, the detailing considered without being fussy.
