vintage 1980s Chinese newspaper covered bamboo storage basket children's clothing Decorative brass stretchers connect theThis vintage 1980s Chinese lidded basket combines woven bamboo with layers of Chinese newspaper and decorative printed paper. The rectangular form features aged typography, photographs, exposed bamboo weave, and a striking folk art panel of birds, flowers, and fruit. The varied paper surfaces and warm natural bamboo give the basket an expressive, almost collage like quality that makes it as compelling as an object of decor as it is for storage.
