Antique French Country Majolica Wire Basket with Heart Handles

Charming and rare, this Antique French Country Majolica Wire Basket is a delightful example of 19th-century rustic elegance. Featuring a delicate hand-painted majolica plate with pink grapes framed in an intricately woven metal wire footed base, this piece brings both utility and beauty to any setting. Made by factories such as Gien, Salins and Sarreguemines, this early one is unmarked. The standout detail? Its whimsical heart-shaped handles, adding a romantic touch that's characteristic of French provincial design. 

Originally used as a tabletop fruit or bread basket in the 1800's, it now makes a perfect decorative centerpiece or an exceptional addition to your collection. Gorgeous age-appropriate patina and slight wear consistent with time only enhance its authenticity and charm. A unique marriage of craftsmanship and countryside grace, this piece will elevate your French country-inspired home.
