French Country Willow Picnic Basket with Leather Strap Closure

Some pieces simply make a home feel more inviting, and this beautiful French willow picnic basket does exactly that. Handwoven from warm honey-colored willow, it features two hinged lids, sturdy carrying handles, and the kind of craftsmanship that comes from everyday objects being made to last for generations. Whether it once accompanied family picnics in the French countryside or carried provisions home from the village market, it still has wonderful presence today.

I love using baskets like this throughout the house. Fill it with fresh linens, display it beside the fireplace, tuck away magazines, or let it become the prettiest way to store garden clippings after an afternoon outdoors. It is equally lovely styled on a kitchen island with fresh flowers and a loaf of crusty bread. The natural patina and gentle signs of age give it all the character we hope to find in authentic French country pieces.

 

• Measures 16" x 13" x 16-1/4"h.

Collector's Note

French willow baskets were an essential part of daily life for generations, prized for their durability and beautiful handwoven construction. Today, we love them for their warmth, sculptural form, and effortless ability to bring authentic French country character to any room in your home.
