FAQs

Grape hods were traditionally used during the harvest season in French vineyards to collect and transport grapes from the vines to the presses.

These items were typically constructed from durable sheet metal, such as galvanised iron or zinc, featuring soldered joints and shaped backs designed to rest comfortably against a workers body.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit genuine patina, historical oxidisation, hand-painted lettering, and signs of utilitarian wear consistent with agricultural use.

This object functions well as a floor-standing container for logs, umbrellas, or dried botanicals, adding texture and agricultural heritage to rustic or eclectic spaces.

Dust gently with a dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing to preserve the original surface patina and protective oxidisation.
