This is a vintage wooden wall-mounted basket with a strong architectural and almost Gothic Revival flair.

Design & Structure
• Material: The entire piece appears to be made of wood, painted in a deep, slightly distressed black. The subtle wear on the edges adds a warm, timeworn patina.
• Lattice Body: The basket itself features a crisscross latticework construction on all visible sides, allowing for breathability and a bit of transparency, typical of older utilitarian or folk-art pieces.
• Backplate: The vertical support at the back is what really gives this piece architectural character. It includes upright slats and diagonal cross braces forming a triangular gable shape, almost reminiscent of a steeple or a timber-frame gable.

Functionality
• Originally this may have been used for storing mail, newspapers, kindling, or even dried flowers. The angled shape of the basket and open slats suggest it was built for practical access and ventilation.
• The keyhole slot at the top makes it easy to hang on a wall, adding both form and function.

Style Notes
• The piece leans rustic, folk, or even primitive Americana in aesthetic, though the strong symmetry and black finish also nod toward modern farmhouse or Japandi styling depending on how it’s staged. See less
