This one-of-a-kind basket was made over one hundred fifty years ago in the Zhejiang region of China. The reeds are woven into a beautiful geometric pattern and layers of lacquer enhance the natural color. The bamboo frame and iron florettes show that basket was clearly made with care and designed for strength. A Chinese scholar probably used it to hold heavy books.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
