{"product_id":"french-vintage-wirework-basket-with-flared-footed-base","title":"French Vintage Wirework Basket with Flared Footed Base","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis generous wirework basket held hand towels in *Le Marin*, the guestroom at Chanteduc, Patricia and Walter's farmhouse and cooking school in Vaison-la-Romaine — a small, considered detail that reflects exactly how Patricia approaches hospitality.\n\nA fine piece of French vintage wirework, it is flared and footed, rising from a looped circular base through a tapering body of closely wound wire to a wide, undulating rim finished with coiled detail. The tall, flat handle — tightly wrapped in twisted wire and arching to a gentle peak — is flanked by scrolled wire curls that give the piece real character. The overall tone is a warm, darkened steel-grey, the patina of age and long use. It is a brocante find, part of Patricia's extensive collection of wire baskets gathered over years of market hunting across France.\n\nAt home, a basket like this earns its keep well beyond the guestroom. Stand it on a bathroom shelf stocked with rolled linen, use it in the kitchen for garlic and shallots, or set it on a garden table holding cut herbs. The decorative handle means it displays beautifully even when empty — a piece that manages to be both genuinely useful and worth looking at.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and wear consistent with age and use.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 17\" high x 11¾\" long x 9\" wide  \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 43cm high x 30cm long x 23cm wide \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54310835913042,"sku":"25442","price":287.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC01025_d613de4b-6a4c-4f61-a48a-9dd6abc21f89.jpg?v=1787303508","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/french-vintage-wirework-basket-with-flared-footed-base","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
