OLD AND REASSIGNED

Out of context, displaced, exotic and other ...  French wicker "harvest baskets" from the Champagne region of Burgundy, France with a painted rim.

The Seller's Suggestions: Use these for a planter or turn them into light fixtures, for "French charm". 

Measures: 33" H x 29" x 29" at the opening.

Here are some more 'Harvest Baskets' with past lives in French vineyards. Things move and its the stories/narratives they hold and carry that, it seems, interrupts this lots' gentle return to earth. Interestingly the ONline marketing of such thing rarely spends much effort nuancing such narratives.
