Atelier Aertgeerts is located in the commune of Martigné-Ferchaud, in the Ille-et-Vilaine department (35), and offers you the benefit of extensive experience in the design of handcrafted wire mesh baskets.
Situated near Châteaubriant, Rennes, and Nantes, our artisanal workshop ships throughout France and abroad.
Why choose handmade baskets?
For nearly 100 years, our company, Atelier Aertgeerts, has been crafting the renowned Norman basket from braided wire, meticulously repeating traditional gestures from the past…
These baskets are exceptionally sturdy and feature an internal mesh within the frame. Each basket begins with the selection of high-quality wire—two different diameters are used, distinguishing the frame from the mesh. Wire baskets are known for their long lifespan and possess a truly distinctive charm.
Order your basket for harvesting or decorating your fireplace
Atelier Aertgeerts produces wire baskets in various sizes—all models are suitable for harvesting vegetables from your garden. The larger ones are perfect for storing onions, potatoes, or apples. Moreover, thanks to their aesthetic appeal and the attention we give to every detail, our handcrafted baskets also make for beautiful home décor items: placed above a fireplace or under a shelf, they’ll bring a unique touch to your interior. If you need a basket for picking apples or gathering vegetables, feel free to contact us.
