Woven Rattan Basket with Broad Handles

A rattan basket featuring broad side handles and a detailed woven rim highlights traditional handcrafting traditions. Rattan palm vines are celebrated worldwide for their strength and flexibility when crafted into durable household utility baskets.

Interesting Facts About Rattan Palm Plants

Rattan comes from climbing palm species native to tropical regions of Asia and Africa. Unlike hollow bamboo stems, rattan vines have solid wood cores that make them extraordinarily strong yet pliable when steamed or soaked in water. Once dried, woven rattan baskets maintain their rigid shape for decades.
