A characterful vintage Chinese Export tabletop organiser combining woven rattan, faux bamboo trim, and warm stained wood, designed to bring texture to a desk or interior vignette.

The slanted upper compartments were made for sorting letters and papers, while the two drawers below offer concealed storage for smaller essentials. The woven cane panels soften the structure and give the piece its relaxed, collected feel.

Placed on a writing desk, dresser, or entry table, it introduces natural material, depth, and a sense of lived-in charm.
