Vintage French Two-Tone Wicker Basket, Mid-20th Century - 19"

A charming vintage French wicker basket, dating from the mid-20th century. Its generous, gently tapered form is woven in contrasting natural and darker willow, creating subtle bands of color. A sturdy arched handle made from twisted dark willow rods is secured with wrapped wicker bindings. The basket has a warm, weathered patina from years of use, with some minor losses to the wicker on one side, adding to its rustic, timeworn character.

A familiar feature of French country homes, this rustic basket brings natural texture and relaxed farmhouse character to an interior.It could sit beneath a console, hold rolled towels or linens, store everyday essentials in a mudroom, or add rustic texture to a sunroom or entryway, either empty or filled with dried flowers.
