Handcrafted with exceptional folk-art charm and whimsical coastal appeal, this vintage Shanghai Weave decorative box features a rectangular bentwood frame lined with a geometric diagonal lattice basketweave in alternating natural cane and rich crimson-red splints. The lift-off lid is crowned with a masterfully sculpted three-dimensional rattan lobster, complete with carved wooden claws, beaded eyes, segmented tail, and sweeping antennae finished in a bold lacquered red tone.
An ideal decorative storage accent for a cocktail table, bookshelf vignette, vanity, entryway console, or coastal bar cart, this lidded catchall brings playful character to Coastal, Bohemian, Palm Beach, Mid-Century Modern, or Eclectic interiors. To care for the natural handwoven rattan, bamboo trim, and dyed splints, routine gentle dusting with a soft-bristle brush or canned compressed air is recommended, avoiding moisture, liquid cleansers, and prolonged direct sunlight. Dimensions measure 8 inches in width, 5 inches in depth, and 6.25 inches in total height. The box is in very good vintage condition, structurally sound and tight with all woven components intact, displaying vibrant original color, light age-appropriate corner rubbing, and gentle patina consistent with careful preservation. Inquire today to add this delightful Shanghai Weave lobster box to your decorative collection.
