Fabulously rustic and earthy branch and willow wall pocket, the perfect accent filled with faux (or live) blooms or English ivy. I picked this cutie up during one of our trips to the Ozarks, circa 1990. It was handcrafted by a local basket artisan using an assorted selection of willow rod species which is what gives the wall pocket its multi-dimensional spectrum of color, as seen in the photos. The frame is crafted from a twisted branch, while the “basket” itself is made from willow stakes and lashes in an over and under weave, finished in a weathered whitewash stain with a top coat of lacquer. It measures 20½” x 13” x 6” H/W/D; interior pocket 10½” x 7½” W/D; weight 1 lb. 2 oz. In excellent structural condition with age-appropriate wear. Since wood is an organic material, it shrinks across the grain with age and there is a slight crack at the bottom of the frame which does not affect the integrity or beauty of the wall pocket (see photo 8). Also note, because of its handcrafted nature, it is not 100% symmetrical in shape. An unpretentious beauty that will add a pop of rustic chic in any space!
