This basket from Northern China is made of burled wood, which has been appreciated by Chinese artists, poets and calligraphers for its unusual grains and forms for thousands of years. Like scholars' rocks, burled objects—with spontaneous, wild beauty—inspire creativity. This basket form burl has a wonderful sculptural shape and a well-worn, warmly patinated surface that calls to be touched.

“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.”
