A LARGE FRENCH BENTWOOD FRUIT BASKET, CIRCA 1950S

Additional information: This object was made to be sturdy in structure due to the fact that fruit and vegetables are heavy, so these baskets had to be strong. The bentwood bands along the top, middle section and along the bottom of the basket are secure with iron nails. The basket has wooden handles attached with metal to on each end which are still practical and functional. The bottom interior of the basket exhibits markings and colouration from years of use. The patina of the wood has also grown to have a beautiful warmness in colour. It is a charming object with plenty of character.

Condition: The wood has scratches and marks but wear is consistent with age and usage. There is old woodworm marks in some parts of wood but the woodworm had been treated.
