We have just one left of these wonderful vintage French oyster baskets. Constructed from heavy-duty wire and with swing loop handles for carrying, they make a stunning fireside basket for the easy access of kindling or small logs, and are great for holding magazines and newspapers. They can also be used in the garden or shed; lined with moss and planted up, they make the best hanging-basket you ever did see.
