Pair of Vintage Red Wire Farmhouse Egg Baskets with Wood Handles

Charming pair of vintage farmhouse egg-gathering baskets, constructed from durable chicken wire in a rustic matte red finish and fitted with wooden carrying handles. Their oval forms, airy structure, and contrast between painted metal and time-softened wood express the direct, functional beauty of traditional farm objects.

Designed for one of rural life's simplest and most essential rituals, these baskets would have been carried through the chicken coop to gather the day's eggs. The open wire construction kept the contents visible, encouraged airflow, and prevented debris from collecting.

Ideal for display on a kitchen table, island, console, open shelving, pantry, porch, laundry room, or garden room. May hold fruit, decorative eggs, textiles, or dried flowers, or remain empty to emphasize the lightness of their wire construction.

Condition: Good, minor wear consistent with age and use; red finish remains strong; wood handles show natural patina. Dimensions: 12 in H x 13 in W x 8 in D.
