Since 1923, the Aertgeerts Workshop, located in Martigné-Ferchaud near Châteaubriant, has meticulously preserved traditional techniques to create the iconic Normandy basket. Starting with a simple raw material—iron, hot-dip galvanized in local wire-drawing mills—each basket is handcrafted one by one, entirely by hand, with no intermediaries. This rare expertise has been passed down for three generations, from father to daughter, ensuring a level of quality and authenticity that is recognized far beyond the borders of Brittany.
Our handwoven wire baskets combine strength, simplicity, and elegance. Their artisanal design ensures exceptional durability and timeless charm, making them perfect for both garden use and home décor. The loyalty of our customers and the trust of prestigious names—such as Alain Ducasse for the 150th anniversary dinner of the Casino de Monaco—reflect the recognition of our work. Discover this living and authentic heritage, handcrafted in Martigné-Ferchaud, through our online store.
