Hand-woven from willow rattan in the traditional manner, this French wicker market basket represents a classic form of utilitarian craft that remained largely unchanged through much of the 20th century. The overall construction points to skilled hand work, with consistent weaving throughout the body and a well-formed arched handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basket is woven in a close plain weave over the lower body, transitioning to a more open weave in the upper section, which creates a two-tone visual effect due to the natural aging of the rattan. The rim features a decorative braided border — a hallmark of quality French basketry — finished with a scalloped edge between the two handle attachment points. The arched overhead handle is constructed from multiple rattan rods bundled and wrapped tightly at each junction. The interior base shows a darker patina consistent with age and use, while the outer body retains a warm honey-brown tone. No cracks, breaks or significant structural damage are visible in the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions as provided: 42cm x 27cm x 39cm \/ 16.5\" x 10.6\" x 15.4\" (length x width x height, excluding handle). With the arched handle raised, the total height is appreciably taller, estimated at approximately 60cm \/ 23.6\" based on the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis French wicker market basket works well as a functional storage piece — for firewood, magazines, linens or produce — or as a decorative accent in a farmhouse, country or natural-material interior. Its generous oval form and open weave give it strong visual presence whether displayed empty or filled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-optimised --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57634256716120,"sku":"324469762671_040D_1C84","price":156.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_eccbfded-aa26-4775-bef3-7d742e8b1c0c.jpg?v=1783159759","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-wicker-basket-vintage-rattan-market-0407263","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
