Welcome and thanks for visiting today!
For your bidding consideration are unique and beautiful, hand-woven South African baskets.
Because each artist and each basket is unique, I cannot guarantee a specific design or colour, however you may certainly specify a colour scheme/design that you would prefer and every effort will be made to find baskets to fit within that. My mother (living in South Africa) will then go to the market and purchase them specifically for you! Yes that's right! You could have your very own African market personal shopper. Those are rare these days you know.
These baskets provide endless practical and decorative uses. I hang mine on my walls and use them to collect loose change, keys and the endless assortment of "hair pretties" I find abandoned around the house. I can honestly say that they are constantly admired and are a truly unique decorative touch. If you would like a vibrant and original piece of genuine African art, and the opportunity to help a lovely and deserving family, please place your bid in the comment area.
Please feel free to post any questions in the comment section and I will respond as soon as possible.
You may choose from one large basket (these only come in neutral colours and are about 20 inches across)
Some closer detail
or : A set of three smaller baskets, keep scrolling...keep scrolling! These baskets are approximately 7 inches across.
1. Patchwork
2. Teal star
3. Turquoise star
4. Green patchwork
5. Navy star
6. Fuschia star (the edges of this basket are faded from many years of hanging in the sunshine).
7. Purple cross
These baskets are as beautiful from the bottom as they are on top
