Vintage Wicker Creel.
This charming vintage wicker fishing creel is a beautifully handcrafted piece that captures the spirit of traditional angling. Expertly woven from natural wicker, the creel features a classic rounded silhouette with a hinged lid and complete with leather and canvas shoulder strap. It also has the original metal clasp closure which has been engraved "R.T. Duncan". The small opening in the top allowed fishermen to easily place their catch inside while keeping contents secure on the riverbank.
Rich in character and texture, this creel makes a wonderful decorative accent for lake houses, cabins, lodges. Its warm natural tones and authentic craftsmanship also make it an appealing collectible for fishing enthusiasts.

The creel was an important piece of equipment for the early angler as with the addition of damp moss, lining the bottom of the creel, it would keep the days catch fresh.
