Early 20th Century French Wicker Grape Harvesting Basket

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
An early 20th-century French grape harvesting basket, skillfully handwoven from willow with a robust, time-worn presence. Originating from the vineyards of rural France, this basket was once a vital part of the winemaking process — used to collect freshly picked grapes during the vendange.

Its classic tapered silhouette features double-reinforced horizontal bands for durability, along with integrated loop handles and charming irregularities that speak to its handmade nature. The vertical wooden slats on one side offer a unique structural detail, likely added for reinforcement or repair — a reminder of its working life in the fields.

With its warm, aged patina and beautiful proportions, this basket is both sculptural and functional. Perfect for rustic interiors, wine cellars, or as a striking storage piece for firewood, throws, or market produce.
