Post-War Craft

A hand-crafted Italian bamboo storage basket from the 1950s, fitted with corner dividers — an unusual and practical detail that keeps contents ordered. The making is careful well beyond what the function required, typical of Italian workshop production in the post-war years, and the bamboo has taken on an authentic patina. Works as household storage, a log basket, or simply as an object on display.
