These are classic Spanish harvesting baskets, and their form gives away exactly how they were used. Made in Spain in the 19th century, baskets like these were woven for fieldwork - carried out to the garden or orchard, filled by hand, then hung up by their twin handles to keep produce off the ground and within reach. You see them most often associated with greens, herbs, olives, and smaller crops that were gathered little by little rather than all at once. The double-handle construction wasn’t decorative - it allowed the baskets to be lifted easily when heavy and hooked onto nails, beams, or walls once brought inside. Sylvie loves them hung as they would have been originally - filled with greens in a kitchen, used for storage, or simply left empty to let the form speak for itself.
