Colorful African baskets

by Patti Boker Elkon on November 10, 2009

I came across Dioum African Art in New York City while cruising a street fair.  It was dark and this vendor was closing up but I couldn’t resist the beautiful baskets that shone brightly even in the dim evening light.  Well priced and well crafted, these baskets are definitely something to add to your collection or to give as a holiday gift to a lucky family member or friend.

The basket shown above retails for only $120.00.  I can see utilizing one or more of these in a room as a colorful accent.  I have a basket like this that I use for my laundry, it’s aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.

Basket bowls range in price from $8.00 – $20.00.  Having a basket on hand is a great way to serve small dry goods like bread and crackers in style.

These are only a few of the wonderous things that Dioum African Art has to offer,  check out their site for more fun.

These are great! A really simple and effective way to add accents of colour in a space.
