Originally used by bakers across France to prove and serve long baguettes, these woven baskets are full of rustic charm and storied utility. Their long, narrow shape helped support dough as it rose, and they were often stacked high behind bakery counters, filled with warm loaves ready to be sold.
 
Today, they make the most beautiful styling pieces. I love placing one on a shelf or sideboard filled with seasonal fruit and veg, or laying it down the centre of a table with fresh bread and wildflowers for a relaxed, French-inspired tablescape.
 
My styling tip: Layer in a few sprigs of herbs or dried grasses for an easy centrepiece that feels thoughtful and effortless.
 
Whether used for display or entertaining, this vintage baguette basket brings a slice of French countryside living into your home.
 
Our antique pieces have lived a life before reaching you, and with that comes a story told through their aged patina, worn textures, and natural imperfections. You may notice small chips, cracks, or variations in color—these aren’t flaws, but rather a testament to their history and authenticity.
