Antique French Basket | Buttocks Willow Gather Harvest
This charming French willow basket offers not only practical function but also rustic character—perfect for those seeking soulful storage or timeless display.
About This Piece
Found at a flea market in the heart of Provence, this antique buttocks-style harvest basket is a true French countryside gem. Crafted from hand-woven willow, its generous form and sturdy construction once made it ideal for gathering produce, eggs, or flowers in the field.
Today, it brings that same agricultural romance and honest utility into your home. Weathered from time, this basket carries surface wear, breaks in the weaving, and a soft patina that speak to its long life and authentic provenance.
Functional Charm for Everyday Living
With its bulbous shape and arched handle, this piece offers a versatile design that works beautifully in kitchens, gardens, or living spaces. Fill it with folded linens, seasonal produce, kindling wood, or display dried botanicals for a welcoming centerpiece.
Its worn texture and natural material add warmth and narrative to any vignette, especially in rustic, cottagecore, farmhouse, or Wabi-Sabi inspired interiors. Though aged, the basket remains stable for decorative use or gentle utility.
