French Handwoven Buttocks Gathering Basket
French Handwoven Buttocks Gathering Basket
Couldn't load pickup availability
A classic French panier à fesses — commonly called a “buttocks basket” — named for its distinctive double-lobed silhouette that allowed it to rest comfortably against the hip while gathering eggs, produce, or garden cuttings. Handwoven from natural split reed with a fixed central handle, the sculptural shape is both practical and beautifully rustic.
These baskets were everyday tools in the French countryside, carried through markets and gardens, and today they remain one of the most charming ways to introduce warmth and authenticity into a home. Perfect styled on a kitchen counter with fruit, holding linens in a powder room, or layered into a shelf for texture. The kind of utilitarian piece that feels effortlessly collected rather than decorated — true French living.
Dimensions: 12.5X12.5X11
