The tradition of making basketry in
the region of Rudnik town situated by the San river has lasted
over one hundred years. For all these years it has been the major
source of income for the people living there. The inhabitants of
Rudnik were the forerunners of the wiker handcraft. They were sent
to Vienna in 1870 by the count Ferdynand Hompsch to learn the
craft. Later on the school of making basketry was established and
since then the craft of making basketry has been flourishing.
The “Koszykarka” company, based on
family traditions, was set up in 1981 in Kopki village, just in
the middle of wicker region. At first various kinds of basketry
and wicker fancy goods were produced. In 1990 the company extended
its offer and started to export their goods abroad to the Czech
Republic, France, Germany, In the following years the employees
produce more and more of new goods, which are characterised by a
very high quality. At the beginning of 2004 the “Koszykarka” firm,
with its previous name and style, is transformed into family
corporation with its new branch in Kraków.
Currently, the basis of our business
activity is production, wholesale trade and retail sale of the
following wicker products: wicker furniture, armchairs, fancy
goods, decorative baskets, shopping baskets, picnic baskets,
chests, containers, flower fancy goods, garden baskets and baskets
for animals, newspaper containers, fire-place baskets, shelves and
baby-carriages.
We manufacture our own products, as well as according to the
designs of our customers. We can deliver the ordered products
using our own means of transport. All the products are presented
in this service in the basic amounts. However, we are able to
produce goods of any dimensions, in accordance with the
requirements of our clients.
The basketry is considered in Poland to be the artistic
handicraft, therefore our products possess the attests of the
Polish Commission of Art and Ethnography.
This web presentation is one of the elements of the promotion of
