Antique French Grape Back Harvester

Antique Grape Harvester's Bin is a charming reminder of the wine industry's traditions. Grape Hods or ‘Hotte’ as they are called in France, were originally used as an integral part of the Grape Harvest at a Vineyard. The galvanised metal Hods were worn on your back to collect bunches of grapes. Today, generally grapes are picked mechanically, and around 20 years ago the use of Hods almost completely ended.

Fashioned from zinc-plated steel/tin with handles, it will make a charming addition to your garden or solarium decor. Beautiful with dried flowers flowing out of the top.
