Shanghai Zebra Wicker Basket

A completely handmade zebra-shaped wicker basket in pristine condition. This vintage zebra basket is a striking example of the meticulously detailed "Shanghai weaving" technique, a hallmark of mid-century craftsmanship. Handwoven with alternating, graphic bands of natural and dyed wicker, the piece captures a dynamic sense of movement and playful elegance. Its spirited silhouette is enhanced by a textured, frayed wicker mane and expertly carved wooden accents on the hooves and face, reflecting the mid-century affinity for global folk art and whimsical animal motifs. Functionality meets art in this lidded container, which features a discreetly removable compartment at the back, topped with a carved bamboo handle—ideal for holding small treasures or office supplies.
