Details

An exceptional collector’s piece: this 19th-century French hand-woven panier à fesses showcases remarkable craftsmanship and historic utility. Its double-wrapped rim and gracefully arched handle, which wraps around the basket form for added stability, reflect the skill of rural French artisans. Originally used to carry eggs and small farm goods, it now offers timeless charm as a decorative treasure.

The natural surface bears a rich, original patina, with minor age-appropriate wear that only enhances its authenticity and story. The rim is double wrapped, the arched handle is sturdy and beautifully designed. The handle wraps around the basket form for extra stability. Please note a few areas of minor loss, as shown. Original natural surface with outstanding rich patina. Baskets like this were used to carry eggs from the hen house long ago. Complimentary U.S. shipping included.

  • Measures 10" x 10" x 5" h with 3-1/2"handle.
