This burled basket is from a tree in Southern China—each wood burl is completely unique and formed from knobby tree growths that have beautiful swirled grains and contours, and small dark spots that carpenters refer to as “eyes.” For thousands of years, Chinese artists and literati appreciated burls for their spontaneous natural beauty. The well-lived, warmly patinated surface of this basket 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.”
