{"product_id":"antique-french-wire-basket","title":"Antique French Wire Basket","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis antique French wire basket has hung in the doorway between Patricia and Walter Wells's iconic ocher kitchen and the pantry at Chanteduc, their farmhouse in Vaison-la-Romaine, holding garlic, for decades.   Generously rounded, almost globe-like, it is formed from closely spaced fine wire ribs that curve to a flat base and open at the top. A structured wire handle rises from two points on the rim and meets at a central loop from which it hangs. The wire has aged to a warm, darkened bronze-grey, carrying the particular patina that comes from decades in a working kitchen.   Patricia collects antique wire baskets and objects, and this one came from Chanteduc itself. The open weave keeps garlic well ventilated and close at hand — in a kitchen as active as Patricia's, simply good sense. Hung in a doorway, a pantry, or from a kitchen beam, it works just as well today for garlic, shallots, onions, or anything that benefits from air circulation and a little visual presence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and wear consistent with age and use.\u003cbr\u003e 11¾\" high x 11¾\" diameter    \u003cbr\u003e 30cm high x 30cm diameter  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54403177021778,"sku":"25642","price":298.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC04620_d1cb9683-9f23-4398-9fec-6ac612a3382d.jpg?v=1787830051","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/antique-french-wire-basket","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
