Woven in the French countryside during the 1950s, this twelve-bottle wine carrier is crafted from pale blonde wicker with a gentle golden hue softened by time and use. Designed for vineyard transport and cellar storage, its sturdy form and compartmentalized interior once carried the weight of local vintages through stone farmhouses and cobbled village markets. The basket’s symmetry and subtle texture speak to its utilitarian beauty. Each hand woven strand reveals the artisanal rhythm of mid century rural life, when wine was drawn from cask to bottle and delivered with care in baskets just like this one. Whether filled with bottles for a fête under the stars or left empty as a sculptural object, it offers a tactile link to the rituals of French wine culture and the timeless art of living, giving, and entertaining.
