A sweet and sentimental handmade vintage wooden basket, likely mid-century, complete with a delicate floral decal reading “Souvenir d’Amitié” — French for “Memory of Friendship.”
Crafted with care, this piece features a bentwood handle and gently curved slatted body, all held together with hand-riveted copper nails — a sign of traditional, small-scale craftsmanship. Four little wooden feet lift it slightly from the surface, giving it a lovely elevated profile.
Its proportions make it ideal for styling with dried flowers, fruit, or as a gentle catch-all on a dresser or windowsill. The aged wood, warm with time and use, pairs beautifully with rustic, cottage, or French country interiors.
This would make a thoughtful gift for a beloved friend — filled with garden blooms, homemade treats, or handwritten notes. A keepsake that quietly says I thought of you.
