Each basket features a lifelike chicken body that serves as a lid, sitting on top of a round base. These baskets showcase their decorative appeal and potential for varied storage or display. Characterized by their rustic, handwoven aesthetic, these pieces often bring a touch of farmhouse charm or bohemian style to any room. The large basket provides a substantial focal point, while the smaller one adds a delicate touch, indicating their versatility for different spaces and storage needs within a collection or vignette. These chicken baskets demonstrate the handcrafted quality of each piece. The red painted combs, which appears slightly worn on the larger chicken, and the carved wooden beaks, along with the bamboo tails add unique character and a touch of folk art authenticity, making these more than just containers but also decorative sculptures dating back to the mid to late 20th century. The large one measures 10 1/2 inches tall by 9 1/2 inches wide. The smaller one measures 7 1/4 inches tall by 6 3/4 inches wide. They are in good condition however, the taller one has a split in the bamboo on his tail as shown in photos. See less
