This superb wicker backpack grape picking basket dates from the early twentieth century and is from Chanteduc, the home of Patricia and Walter Wells in Provence. Patricia recalls seeing this kind of harvest basket for the first time at a brocante and immediately loved it. As they have a vineyard at the farm, it is perfectly in theme!
Patricia loves the shape and silhouette and can't believe how heavy it is when it's empty! A lovely way to bring an instant touch of French country and old world farm life to an interior.
