This basket from Northern China is made of burled wood, which has been respected by Chinese artists, poets and calligraphers for its unusual grains and forms for thousands of years. Many scholars appreciated rustic, gnarled wood because it brought to mind the ancient trees that in Chinese art symbolized the wisdom of great sages. This burled basket has a wonderful sculptural shape and well-worn, warmly patinated surface that calls to be touched.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
