Primitive Angels for your Antique Baskets

By: Jane Fournie

When I stroll through antique fairs and flea markets, one thing in particular catches my eye: vintage baskets. The baskets on my wish list are woven wicker or woven reed baskets with hinged wooden lids or tops that lift to open. They usually have two swivel or swing handles.
