An authentic French grape harvesting basket from the 1940s, sourced from the vineyards of Champagne. Handwoven from sturdy willow, this generously sized basket features a distinctive twisted rim and reinforced handles designed for durability in the field during the demanding vendange (grape harvest).

What sets this piece apart is the original green painted markings-likely the initials or domain code of the vineyard owner-still clearly visible on one side. Additional green accents are woven into the rim, adding a subtle but vibrant contrast against the naturally weathered willow.

With its sculptural form and honest, utilitarian beauty, this basket serves as both a decorative accent and a functional storage solution. Ideal for holding firewood, towels, toys, or as a centerpiece in a wine cellar, mudroom, or garden space.
