A charming and sculptural mid-20th-century French wicker grape harvesting basket, sourced from the vineyards of the Champagne region. Crafted entirely by hand, this basket was used during the autumn grape harvest"”a utilitarian object now celebrated for its rustic beauty and timeless form.

Woven from willow with an elegantly rounded body and reinforced double rim, the basket features sturdy integrated handles with remnants of original red paint, a subtle yet authentic detail that hints at its working history. The natural gray patina developed over decades lends a softness and depth to the piece, while signs of wear speak to years of use in the French countryside.

Whether displayed as a sculptural accent, used for firewood, blankets, or garden tools, this basket brings an unmistakable sense of French provincial heritage into any space.
