I've always loved baskets, because they're beautiful and totally practical for storing all kinds of things. But these are special, I think. The open weave design is so interesting and delicate.

And I've been searching, but still cannot find a clue as to where to get them. Are they vintage? Most likely. French? Probably. Expensive? Definitely.
I found some baguette baskets (but these are often too open) and grape-collecting baskets (but these tend to be oval and have a closed weave) in a Google search, but I haven't hit the mark yet. This is the closest I found, but it's meant to hang on a wall. So, any clues, friends? And are you as obsessed as I am? Or am I crazy to spend hours hunting for a specific basket style?

I'm right there with ya...obsessed. I think baskets are such a gret design element. Functional, loads of texture, warmth and hides your junk. I love that second picture from cottage living. Thats a pinner!
A gal after my own heart....I have just purchased an open weave basket stool/side table to use in the beach house makeover project I am currently doing. Baskets are fun to work with, painting them adding bits and pieces onto them, endless creative ideas... I hope to hear from you over at my space. Roberta
Just picked up a very similar looking basket at Cost Plus World Market - they just arrived!
