Vintage Collapsible Wire Egg Gathering Basket | Farmhouse Kitchen Decor | Folding Metal Basket

This is a vintage collapsible wire mesh egg gathering basket, traditionally used for safely collecting eggs from the coop. Crafted from sturdy metal wire (typically stainless steel or galvanized), the open mesh design allows for airflow while gently cradling fragile eggs during transport.

A clever fold-down design lets the basket collapse flat for easy storage when not in use—a practical feature that made these baskets a staple on farms and homesteads. Today, they’re just as loved for their rustic charm and versatility.

In addition to egg gathering, this basket works beautifully for:
Harvesting garden vegetables
Displaying fruit on a counter or table
Styling farmhouse or cottage kitchens
Creating a rustic vignette or shelf display
