Antique One-Of-A-Kind Rare
This oversized wicker wheat basket once played a role in the age-old practice of separating grain from the chaff - a staple in French farmsteads. Found in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, its woven structure remains beautifully intact, a rare feat for a piece of this size and history. The deep, curved shape and sturdy handles make it effortlessly functional, whether for styling blankets at the foot of a bed or catching firewood by the hearth. A true workhorse turned statement piece.
