Farmhouse 19th Century Primitive Splint Basket

A striking statement! This authentic 19th-century splint basket with deeply aged surface and exceptional primitive character is handwoven from wood splints (likely oak or ash) and has a rich black patina. The surface shows natural oxidation, flaking, and time-worn texture consistent with early farm utility baskets. This old beauty retains wrapped reinforcement and old cloth patches, which reveals a testament to its working life. A rare find.
