A mid century French wicker basket of medium size, this oval form with double handles was crafted for both beauty and utility. Sturdy yet graceful, it was once carried into the kitchen garden to gather lettuces, beans, or squash, its woven body breathing easily around the day’s harvest. In the kitchen, it remains a practical keeper of potatoes, onions, or seasonal bounty. The paired handles make it effortless to carry, while the warm patina of aged wicker tells of a life well lived. Both functional and decorative, it invites a touch of rustic charm and timeless simplicity into the home.
