Large Low Leaf Basket

EMPTY DOM REMOVE PROTECTOR
Sale price$2,000.00

Low honeysuckle leaf basket for fruit, mail, or linens

At nineteen inches in diameter, this Low Leaf Basket makes a quiet but unmistakable statement.

Handwoven from wild honeysuckle vine gathered in North Carolina, its sweeping, open form feels both architectural and organic. The tightly coiled center radiates outward into an airy weave, framed by a sculptural leaf detail that gives the piece quiet movement and unmistakable identity.

Its low profile makes it especially versatile. Diane might center it on a dining table filled with gathered citrus or seasonal magnolia leaves, or let it rest empty on a coffee table where the weave itself becomes the focal point. Under candlelight, the natural vine casts subtle shadows — warm, layered, alive.

No two baskets are alike. Variations in vine tone, curve, and weave reflect the natural material and the hand of the maker. Rooted in centuries-old Appalachian basketry tradition, this is a piece meant to be lived with — not styled once and forgotten.

Limited in quantity, as each is woven slowly, one vine at a time.

Why you'll love this basket...

In the Smithsonian. And on your table.

Two of Anne's baskets live in the Smithsonian's permanent collection. These are made the same way, by the same hands, from the same pattern she invented at twelve. The difference is you can fill this one with bread and set it out for company.

Built to be used, not admired

Strong, light, and made to be handled — Anne builds these for use, not for a shelf. Larger ones carry a wire through the handle, wrapped back over in honeysuckle, so you can load them up and pass them down the table without a second thought.

A young girl in a green field kneels beside a woven basket, with sheep and rolling hills in the background.

Self-taught at twelve. Still weaving.

Anne is entirely self-taught. She worked out her weave at twelve, tending goats in the Virginia hills, and has used that same pattern for every basket since — well over forty years of them. No lessons, no borrowed methods. Just hers.

Craftsman Profile

Anne Scarpa McCauley

Born in Vermont, Anne moved with her family to Virginia at age four. She grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, one of eleven children.

Her family, early hippies, had many animals including dairy goats. Anne often had the job of tending the herd of goats on unfenced parts of the property. Anne sometimes made little circles or wreaths for her hair with the nearby honeysuckle. At age twelve she made her first basket, using a coil made of honeysuckle. This same coil pattern is used in all her baskets.

Anne's baskets are original and unique. She has never taken lessons, studied books or contacted other basket makers for ideas. Anne has been making these for over thirty years and has won many awards, including being included in the Smithsonian's collection of American craft objects at the Renwick Gallery.
