Long Handled Lacquered Basket colour-multicolour The drawers themselves each show

The drawers themselves each show a simple carving over the handle

and a pheasant on the right hand door - a symbol of beauty and prosperity often substituted for a phoenix

Once lacquered in bright colours

worn on the seat and other sections to the paler wood underneath

and meet the subtly curved seat posts at either side

Long Handled Lacquered Basket colour-multicolour The drawers themselves each showThese attractive wooden containers were once used for carrying food. Each one has been restored and refinished with a new lacquer in blues and greys, with a red base showing through to give an interesting, distressed effect. The lid of each basket fits over the base of the long, curved handle at each side to keep it from sliding off. Great as an attractive, colourful sewing basket or storage box.
