This antique French wire egg basket was handmade in France during the early to mid 20th century. Crafted from metal wire with a charming folding top, these traditional fil de fer baskets were commonly used for gathering eggs and carrying produce from the garden. The handcrafted construction, aged patina, and utilitarian design make this a wonderful example of everyday French country life.

Its unique smaller scale makes it especially useful for decorative storage, countertop organization, or collecting eggs with a toddler. The open wire design provides visual lightness while still offering functionality throughout the home.
