Note that there are two holes drilled into the bottom wood support slats, suggesting this basket might have been secured to some sort of vehicle (a wagon, cart, etc.) and used for gathering and/or transporting. This basket is offered in its original antique condition with visible (and continuing) lacquer loss, scrapes, and chipping throughout. These small “imperfections “ do not detract from the overall look of this piece but do enhance its antique character. See less
