French Champagne Harvesting Basket, c. 1940s

A rare and beautifully preserved French Champagne harvesting basket dating to the 1940s, hailing from the legendary vineyards of the Champagne region. This hand-woven willow basket was once a vital tool during the grape harvest, carried through the rows of vines to collect freshly picked grapes destined for the méthode champenoise.
Its robust form is both functional and sculptural, with twisted rope-style rims, integrated handles, and reinforced weaving for durability. What makes this piece especially unique are the original red painted markings—“RHH”—the initials of the vineyard owner or domaine, lending a deeply personal and historical touch.
A striking decorative object for wine lovers, collectors, or anyone drawn to authentic French country style. Ideal for storing firewood, blankets, or even as a planter in a conservatory or wine cellar.
