Swedish hand-woven small basket / fish trap
Handcrafted with true artisan skill, this unique Swedish basket is woven from natural twigs and root fibers, lined with a characteristic inner band of birch bark.
A wonderful rustic piece for an understated, farmhouse interior, or lovely to use as a distinctive tealight holder or lantern. Place an LED candle or glass votive inside, and the flame casts a warm, atmospheric glow through the open weave and organic birch bark.
