Log Carrier in Braided Rope and Leather Handle. French Craftsmanship in Taste.

The body of the log holder is entirely woven from thick braided rope over a core, forming an open cradle with walls that rise and curl into rolls on the sides. A wide handle made of thick black leather, cut in a wavy shape, spans the entire piece and allows for the transport of logs; small wooden pads insulate the bottom from the ground. This combination of braided rope and leather reflects the spirit of the creations by Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet, whose workshop in Golfe-Juan produced all the home furnishings in hemp rope during the 1950s; this log holder adopts their warm and functional vocabulary. Condition assessment: Overall good condition. Complete and solid weaving with a nuanced light blonde patina, soft leather with a beautiful patina from use. A fireplace accessory that is as practical as it is decorative, which will warm up a corner by the fire or serve as a basket for blankets.
