19th Century Oak and Leather French Grape Harvest Hod

19th Century French Oak Coppered Grape Hod

The oak and metal grape harvest hod, known as the "baquet," was primarily used in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This period saw significant developments in viticulture and winemaking practices, particularly in regions like Bordeaux and Burgundy. The combination of oak and metal in the construction of these harvest hoods was designed to be both durable and functional, facilitating the grape harvesting process.

The design reflects the traditional craftsmanship of the time, emphasising both utility and aesthetic appeal. This particular one has fabulous chocolate leather straps secured with big buckles and harvest load of character!

This tall and richly patina'd piece is to be looked at, talked about and celebrated, be creative with floral, or as it on a wall or standing tall in an entrance as a sculpture piece.
