{"product_id":"chinese-wicker-hen-basket-with-lid-circa-1970s","title":"Chinese Wicker Hen Basket with Lid, Circa 1970s","description":"\u003cp\u003eVintage Chinese wicker hen basket with lid, circa 1970s, handwoven in natural rattan, wicker, and bamboo reed with carved and painted wood details. The piece features a rounded lidded body, sculptural hen head, red painted comb and wattle, pointed beak, applied wing details, upright tail feathers, and a removable top that opens to reveal a small interior storage compartment. This model belongs to the tradition of Chinese decorative animal-form basketry widely collected for its handmade construction, domestic charm, and sculptural folk-art presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe construction is especially strong, with tight vertical weaving across the body, a fitted lid, and dimensional carved elements that define the bird’s face, wing, and tail. Unlike open baskets, this lidded hen form functions as a small covered container, making it ideal for eggs, napkins, small household objects, or purely decorative display. The warm honey-brown surface and red painted accents give the piece a classic country and folk character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, this vintage Chinese wicker hen basket works beautifully as a tabletop object, kitchen accent, shelf piece, or collectible animal-form basket. Its lidded form adds function, while its sculptural silhouette gives it enough presence to stand alone in rustic, folk art, cottage, farmhouse, coastal, or eclectic interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 inches x 4 inches x 6.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regiment of Love","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50157603946735,"sku":"16811","price":352.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/0613\/7327\/files\/IMG_2236.jpg?v=1783684133","url":"https:\/\/regimentoflove.com\/products\/chinese-wicker-hen-basket-with-lid-circa-1970s","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
