Rainforestbaskets.com takes the term “basket” to a whole new level—by offering exquisite, one-of-a-kind art objects never before seen by the discerning collector. That’s the hallmark of the Meares Collection. 

The premier source for museum-quality works for nearly a decade, we showcase a diversity of distinctive motifs and shapes—from stunning geometrics to tapestry-rich pictorials lavish with blooms and birds—to complement traditional or contemporary surroundings. We’ve commissioned these artworks for their artistic beauty and collectibility. Designers have discovered that they can punctuate, or soften, their clients’ living spaces.

Stitched from silk-fine palm filaments dyed with natural pigments, each important work in our collection takes one to three years to complete. Curators and collectors claim that the finest Hösig Di, as their Wounaan weavers call them, rival coveted antique Native American baskets.

Lorran and Charlotte Meares, authors of Weaving the Scarlet Macaw, the first comprehensive book on the Hösig Di art form, are expert consultants for your small or large project—from accessories to masterpieces.
