Vintage rattan baskets with lids, crafted using techniques honed over cen-
turies, are a testament to the enduring appeal of natural materials and
traditional craftsmanship. While the exact introduction year is difficult to
pinpoint, basket weaving itself is an ancient craft, with evidence
of its practice dating back thousands of years. Rattan, a climbing
palm, is a key material in many baskets, particularly in South-
east Asia and other tropical regions.
