Antique Splint Basket | 19th C. American Oak Gathering

19th Century American Splint Oak Basket | Hand Woven Gathering Basket

This antique splint oak basket shows the craftsmanship and utility of early American basketry with its hand woven structure and generous scale.

It solves the need for a large storage piece that feels authentic and decorative, bringing warmth, texture, and history into the home or garden.

The color is divine! Made in the USA in the 19th century, this basket was originally used for gathering and carrying goods. The pale white oak splints have aged beautifully, developing a soft patina that highlights the weaving and form. The tall handle and deep body make it practical for storage, garden harvest use, or as a decorative floor basket. Found in a collector’s estate and hand selected for its character, this is a timeless example of American folk craft.
