Old Bressan basket

Old Bressan basket (often called market basket or poultry basket) from the 19th or early 20th century, made of woven wicker and rattan with braided handles and a metal clasp. Recognizable by its hinged lid, double braided handles, and small original metal or leather clasp, traditionally used for going to the market or carrying provisions. Generally dated from the late 19th century (around 1870-1900) or early 20th century. Note: One of the handles is detached, held only by a thread on one side. A small missing part in the weaving at the front is visible in the photos. Opening 34 cm X 22 cm. H 30. L 40. W 28 cm.
