Add a captivating piece of vintage kinetic folk art to your kitchen or dining room with this exceptional transforming fruit basket!

Masterfully hand-crafted from hardwood (probably walnut), this clever design folds completely flat to serve as an intricate trivet or hanging wall art piece, then effortlessly lifts up to transform into a sturdy, multi-tiered, functional fruit bowl.

Artisan Craftsmanship & Design Details:
Shaped like a stylized apple, complete with a beautifully carved leaf and stem that forms the carrying handle when extended.

The Carving: Features exquisite, deep chip-carving along the entire outer border à la tramp art style, and a stunning, highly detailed floral motif carved into the base panel of the lower basket tier.

The Wood: Showcases a handsome, rich walnut finish with a striking linear grain and warm, deep tonal variance that highlights the vintage woodwork.

The Mechanism: The concentric, precision-cut wooden rings smoothly drop down to form a sturdy lower-tier basket, while the outer frame hinges up into a rigid handle.
Condition:

In very good vintage condition. The collapsible mechanism functions perfectly, transitions smoothly, and sits completely sturdy when extended into its basket shape. The wood has been beautifully preserved with a gorgeous natural luster, showing no cracks, chips, or missing pieces to the intricate carved details.

Measurements:
Dimensions (Flat): 10.5 inches long x 11 inches wide x 1.5 inches thick
Dimensions (Extended): Opens up to approximately 10 inches tall
Weight: 2 lbs. 13 oz. (A remarkably heavy, dense, and substantial solid hardwood piece).

NOTE: I have a second basket, this one with 4 compartments, from this same estate:
