Vintage Makenge Basket
Bring the rich heritage of Zambia into your home with our Vintage Makenge baskets—rare, functional works of art that double as stunning wall décor. Traditionally handcrafted by the skilled Mbundu and Losi women of Zambia's remote Western Province, these extraordinary baskets have been used for generations in daily life for storage, winnowing, and holding water.
They are made from natural fibers and materials, giving them a rustic, earthy feel that complements a wide range of decor styles. Baskets are versatile and can be used in any room of your home, from the living room to the bedroom.
Their rich textures, natural tones, and one-of-a-kind designs make Makenge baskets an exceptional choice for wall décor. Whether displayed individually or in a curated arrangement, they add depth, warmth, and cultural significance to any space.Create an inviting atmosphere with a sophisticated and rustic vibe by layering these baskets with other African-inspired accents, like tribal artefacts, animal motifs, and natural wooden elements.
Approximate Dimensions 53-55cm (Diameter)
Note - No two baskets are exactly and may differ slightly. Please notice that this is a vintage piece and therefore shows significant signs of age and imperfection through years of use. Our handmade items are perfectly imperfect. Many of these vintage pieces feature indigenous decorative repair work, which we believe adds to their intrinsic charm and authenticity.
Celebrate the timeless artistry and tradition of Zambia by adorning your walls with a Vintage Makenge basket—a piece of history reimagined as captivating décor.
