A beautifully crafted set of six vintage woven rattan wicker glass holders, showcasing the effortless charm of coastal European entertaining and mid-century bohemian design.
Handwoven from natural reed and rattan, these sculptural sleeves were designed to cradle drinking glasses—offering both insulation and protection while elevating even the simplest beverage into a styled moment. The open lattice weave allows light to pass through, casting intricate shadows and highlighting the artistry of traditional basketry techniques.
Pieces like these became especially popular in the 1960s–1970s, when natural materials and indoor-outdoor living defined entertaining culture. They were often used for iced tea, cocktails, or outdoor dining, keeping hands cool while protecting delicate glass from breakage—similar in concept to traditional glass holders used across cultures for heat protection and grip.
The construction reflects centuries-old wicker traditions—an ancient weaving technique using pliable plant fibers like reed and rattan, valued for being both lightweight and durable.
Today, these are highly sought after for their “coastal grandmother,” Palm Beach, and old-money entertaining aesthetic—perfect for both use and display.
