Nature Flat Basket 23"x18"

Sale price$3,000.00

A Beautiful, Artistic Centerpiece

At almost two feet wide, this Nature Flat Basket moves beyond basketry into sculpture.

Handwoven from wild honeysuckle vine gathered in the Appalachian mountains, this 23" x 18" form unfolds in sweeping arcs of vine and layered leaf motifs. The flatter profile creates a broad, open composition — allowing the sculptural halo and botanical elements to take center stage.

The result feels expansive and quietly dramatic. The open weave and circular vine structure create movement across a wide surface, making this piece especially suited for large dining tables, coffee tables, or mounted as wall art.

Despite its scale, the airy lattice keeps the form light and organic. Natural variations in vine tone — from honey gold to deeper russet — highlight the hand of the maker and the gathered material.

Each basket is woven by hand, by the artist. No templates. No duplication.

This is collector-level Appalachian basketry — functional sculpture designed to anchor a space.

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.
