Curators Notes
With origins in traditional French bakeries and boulangeries, antique French proofing baskets, also known as bannetons, have a rich history rooted in artisanal bread-making. Crafted from natural materials like wicker or rattan, these baskets were used to support and shape dough during the proofing process, allowing it to rise and develop its characteristic texture and flavor.
