This early 20th-century English fishing basket, or creel, was crafted for long days along the riverbank. Hand-woven from willow with a beautifully weathered patina, it retains its original canvas shoulder strap and aged leather buckle closure—details that speak to both durability and design born of necessity. Elevated slightly on turned feet to keep it dry beside the water, it once held a fisherman’s daily catch or provisions. Today, it makes a striking decorative accent or storage piece, rich with the quiet heritage of English sporting life. Found in the Cotswolds.
