After hanging on your wall your grandma’s moulds, keep going with the kitchenalia style by using different wire objects as the famous vintage egg wire basket!
Skillfully shape, the wire is the ally of the cooker, it takes care of the grills and the salads, it drips the frying fish, it presents the bread and the fruits, it is sometimes an egg-cup, a bottles-carrier or a table mat. It is also known for other applications which extends in many domains.
Cheap and strong, the wire complies with all desires. In the 17th century it was used for everything, most for repair. Then, in the 20th century this wire exceeded the utility and became a wide range of domestic objects in a country style. Like eggs basket, bottles carrier, gloves carrier, the wire object is protean. You can find so many different objects: wastebaskets, egg-basket, colander, bread-basket, fruits-basket… a lot of items to give a vintage decoration style to your interior.
Do you like the “bistrot atmosphere”? The egg stand will give a beautiful effect in your kitchen, some have a place to put a saltcellar on the top.
The wire was also used to make some beekeeper-masks, aviaries, fish bow nets, mice/rats traps, ferret traps, coat hangers and paper baskets, the last ones would be nice to have, not sure for the others!
Even if the thread is braided or meshed, the technique allows to create resistant objects. Its only disadvantage is that it rusts. Galvanisation did limited this problem but with the arrival of enamel then aluminium items, those objects became fast obsolete, even if they could be used as decoration.
Nowadays, everybody is looking to have one in his home! They can give a true vintage decoration feeling to your interior, my favorite: the egg basket!
