Circa 1900 hand made wicker egg basket with mesh base.
Antique egg baskets reflect a time when everyday objects were crafted with care, skill, and practicality in mind. Handwoven from natural materials like willow or rattan, these baskets were designed to gently cradle eggs collected from farmyards each morning. Their open weave allowed air circulation while keeping eggs secure, and sturdy handles made them easy to carry. The mesh base allows straw and other materials to fall through leaving the eggs free of debris.
Over time, use and age gave each basket a warm patina and unique character. Today, antique wicker egg baskets are cherished as decorative pieces, valued for their rustic charm, craftsmanship, and connection to traditional rural life.
