French Wire Mesh Fishing Basket

This mid-century French wire fishing basket features a tapered form with a square base and fine interlocking metal mesh. Designed for use by anglers to hold fish in the water, it has a hinged handle and a practical opening seen in photos. Today it serves as a striking decorative object — ideal as a hanging basket, sculptural storage piece, or rustic accent in farmhouse and industrial interiors.
