This is a fabulous antique woven sewing basket dating 1910-1930s and measuring 4 inches high and 9 inches in diameter. The basket is in excellent condition and most of the original decorations are there including beads, a chinese coin and celluloid rings and bar. I think another coin a several beads have been removed. But it is very difficult to find one with any of the original decorations and an intact undamaged basket. Lovely!
