PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A beautifully handcrafted French gathering basket dating to the Art Nouveau period, circa 1890–1910. Constructed of solid wood and reinforced with hand-forged iron hardware, this utilitarian piece reflects the craftsmanship and enduring quality of everyday life in rural France at the turn of the twentieth century.
Its sculptural form, rich wood patina, and weathered iron details tell the story of a life well lived. Originally created as a hardworking vessel for gathering and carrying, it now lends warmth, texture, and history to the home while remaining just as functional today.
Whether used to hold blankets, kindling, magazines, or simply displayed as a sculptural accent, this one-of-a-kind basket brings timeless French character to any space.
Subtle wear, light crazing, small hairline and tonal variation throughout give it the character only time can create.
