21 in Sculptural Nature Basket

Sale price$2,400.00

A statement-scale basket that behaves like wall art or centerpiece

This 21" Sculptural Basket is Anne McCauley at her most dramatic. Wild honeysuckle vine is gathered in Virginia and woven into a broad, starburst base, then framed with a sweeping, double-ring handle that winds and twists around the rim. Leaf forms tuck along the edge like small pauses in the line, turning the whole piece into a kind of drawing in space—light, airy, and full of movement. In wheat and honey tones, it reads as natural but not rustic, just as comfortable with marble and plaster as it is with old pine.

At twenty-one inches across, it’s a true statement piece. Lay it flat on a dining table piled with citrus, hang it on the wall as sculptural art, or lean it on a mantel where the open weave can cast shadows behind it. However you use it, this is less “basket” and more “nature study”—a gallery-scale object made from a plant Anne harvests herself.

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.
