Is there anything more precious than a harvest basket? Imagine strolling through your garden with your sweet harvest basket collecting your favorite flowers or fresh produce. These types of baskets were also used to carry bread or pastries from the boulangerie. 

Style with linens, old books or use it as a functional piece, either as originally intended to gather harvest items or to hold or serve bread. Use in the kitchen as a vegetable, fruit or egg basket or as a catchall on a kitchen island for a curated and lived-in look.
