Vintage Wire Hen Basket

Vintage Wire Hen Basket

$75.00

A whimsical piece of French art populaire, this wire hen basket was traditionally used to collect and store fresh eggs right from the farmyard. Hand-formed from sturdy black wire, it features a sculptural silhouette of a hen, complete with wings, tail, and upright comb.

Perfect for a French country kitchen, this basket is equally charming on the counter filled with eggs, fruit, or linens, or styled as a decorative accent with flowers or seasonal greenery.

  • Dimensions: 38 cm long, 25 cm wide.

  • French, mid-20th century.

  • As with all vintage and antique items, please look closely at the details in the images. We note breakage or chips if apparent, but the patina which is inherent of age, or wear from 50-100+ years of existence and use -- is assumed for older pieces and is not considered a flaw or defect.

  • We use FedEx international express shipping. Tracking and shipping updates are available online through the destination country website.

    Small items can be combined in one package and this sometimes provides a savings in shipping as long as they are calculated in the same order invoice.

  • All items that I sell are acquired in France and ship from France. All purchases are packed and shipped with extreme care.  Because I adore everything I sell, I fully describe every item and welcome any questions about dimensions, condition or origin. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Every item in the shop has a detailed description and images and dimensions if applicable, along with a statement of condition (if vintage or antique) and use instructions (home goods). Read please carefully before purchasing.
