Basketville Vermont Wood Basket Hand Engraved FloralDesign Divided Caddy Art VTG

This is a truly unique find: an original Basketville woven split-wood basket from Putney, Vermont, featuring custom, hand-engraved folk art. The wooden exterior is beautifully decorated with a charming hand-etched floral design and a personalized last name (Schaummann) giving it a soulful, one-of-a-kind character that standard mass-produced baskets lack. This divided carrier is built with a solid wood bottom (bearing the authentic Basketville branding) and a sturdy fixed handle, making it perfect as a rustic wine caddy, garden tool organizer, or a standalone piece of farmhouse decor.

Condition: Good vintage condition. The hand-engraved flowers and name are deeply etched and clear. The split-wood weave is structurally sound with a warm, aged patina. There is some light surface wear and minor scuffing to the wood, which only adds to its authentic, storied appearance. Please see photos for the "Schaummann" name engraving.
