They were used to sift grain and flour and separate husks, an essential part of daily life on the farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce an everyday tool in Chinese farming households, these antique willow sieves were traditionally used to sift grain, rice and other harvested crops, separating the grain from husks and unwanted material. Handwoven in a shallow, circular shape with a reinforced rim, each sieve reflects a long tradition of Chinese basket weaving, where practical household objects were made from natural materials using techniques passed down through generations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, these old Chinese willow sieves make an interesting addition to a collected home. Their woven patterns and aged natural finish work beautifully as wall decor, either displayed individually or grouped together. Each sieve has a small hanging loop on the reverse, believed to have been used for hanging the sieve when not in use, and now providing a simple way to display a piece of Chinese rural history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120+ years old\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (cm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 55L x 55W x 5H\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\/Hue:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural\/Aged\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Willow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe with a dry cloth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sifting grain and flour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shandong, China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs these are vintage pieces, no two are alike and each may differ slightly from the photos in tone, colour and size.
