Teak/Rattan Picnic Basket (Burma)
This Worldstock exclusive will take you to the season's picnics in the finest global style. Roomy and practical, it is made from Burmese teak and rattan. Burmese teak is prized for its rich color, but is rarely seen in the West due to the closed nature of Burma's military government. Worldstock visited Burma to find a wealth of skills and styles, and artisans eager for direct export channels to link them with western markets. This Burmese-owned business has supplied top-end rattan goods to local hotels since 1995. Each one measures 13 inches deep x 17 inches long and 11.75 inches wide, providing ample room for your outdoor dining essentials. Sturdy handles are 11 inches long x 9 inches wide. For an unusual conservation measure, visit the Rangoon municipal dump, which is annually plowed and planted in teak saplings. Until then, set a global scene at your next picnic with this handmade picnic basket. Both teak and rattn contain natural, minor colour variations. All measurements are approximate.
