20th Century French Rattan Rectangular Planter

20th Century French Rattan Rectangular Planter
France, mid-20th century

This elegant rectangular planter is finely crafted from woven rattan over a bamboo frame, displaying the lightness and craftsmanship associated with French decorative garden and interior furnishings of the mid-20th century. Raised on slender legs with cross-braced supports, the planter is accented by distinctive blue-wrapped rattan bindings, adding a subtle graphic contrast to the warm natural tones. The piece bears a maker’s label consistent with French artisanal rattan workshops active in the postwar period, when indoor planters became popular elements of winter gardens, conservatories, and modernist interiors. Both functional and sculptural, this planter works beautifully as a standalone decorative object or as a vessel for greenery.
