This functional French wire bottle carrier is a mid-century domestic metalwork piece from circa 1930s -1950s. The rectangular wire basket features individual circular compartments designed to transport six glasses or bottles securely, showcasing the practical design sensibilities of post-war French households.
The carrier displays robust wire construction throughout, with a distinctive twisted rope-style handle that arcs over the rectangular frame. The dark patinated metal finish shows authentic aging consistent with seven decades of use, while the intricate wirework demonstrates skilled French craftsmanship. The base incorporates a grid pattern of parallel wires intersected by the circular holders, creating both structural integrity and organized storage compartments.
Measuring 10.25" x 6.9" x 6.7", this wire bottle carrier remains in good vintage condition with expected surface patina and minor wear that confirms its authentic 1930s - 1950s origin. The handle maintains structural soundness, and all wire components remain properly secured and intact for continued functional use.
This piece serves as both a practical serving accessory and an example of French mid-century utilitarian design, suitable for collectors of vintage barware or French domestic antiques.
