Found in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, this three-tiered wire stand was hand-bent by a village wire-worker in the mid-20th century. Each tier is rimmed with a row of small hearts, the folk flourish that turned a working piece into a dressier one. The hearts were bent one at a time, and you can see the slight differences between them where the maker's hand moved. The wire has rusted softly to a dark warm patina, the way old French wirework always does. Sylvie places it on a kitchen island piled with summer peaches, almond croissants, and whatever someone brought back from the market that morning.
Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
